I ran a 2:02.9 in our car, bone stock like it's off the showroom except tow hooks. Our other driver ran a 2:02.1 on on Sunday. Stock brakes, stock Michelin super sports. ****ing stock.
My fairly fully built Evo managed a 1:56.0. The Supra is just simply superior.

That will completely blow my mind.

The Supra platform should be faster than the Evo platform at the track. It has similar curb weight, rear wheel drive, better weight distribution, 50% more displacement, 50% more cylinders, lower center of gravity, room for bigger tires, an 8-speed auto, and almost two extra decades of technology advancement.
Really, the weird thing is that the Evo was so competitive for so long. It felts like the affordable enthusiast car market was stagnant for a long time.
It's nice to have a modern, turbocharged, tuneable (mostly) option again.

The Evo is a fun car, but purpose-built 2-seater RWD, low ride height cars with automatic transmissions and modern technology should be faster than a 15+ year old AWD economy car chassis.

Doesn't seem that nuts. IIRC, the A91 Supra puts down wheel horsepower numbers higher than you'd expect for the factory rating. It also has an 8-speed automatic, lower center of gravity, better weight balance, better aerodynamics, etc.

It's irrelevant however because nobody keeps their Evo stock and in 2023 chassis doesnt mean anything other than a folded piece of metal you prefer. You can modernize anything to beat anything these days. The whole debate of which is faster is moot.

For example, would you expect lesser performance from an M3 because of the 325 base? Etc
