Curious where are you getting £90k from? Just looked and they are $55k starting price. I’d think you should be able to land one in the UK for £55-60k depending on the exact route you take. Still a lot of money. But ballpark to the Supra.
Starting at £72,945, plus options:https://www.chevrolet.co.uk/cars/corvette-stingray...

Making closer to 400bhp at the crank as tested on a dyno. Link is from Facebook so unsure if it works.

Well that's good news........I wonder where the understating came from, whether someone thought it might be a good idea or whether it was imposed in some way?
Cars given to the media could be 'tweaked'? A few of the American mags have tested various hot BMWs over the years and they nearly always put out far more than the official figures. I think Motor Trend tested an F10 M5 and got well over 600hp, iirc. loudlashadjuster said:
US dynos always seem to be a bit...aspirational.
Yes quite. There are lots of examples where US dyno's seem to register the same power at the wheels, as they're rated for at the crank. Owning a MKIV for over 10 years there were frequently new UK owners asking why US Supra's were so much more powerful (they aren't).From what I read elsewhere the new Supra was also dyno'd in the wrong gear. It should be dyno'd in the gear ratio as close to 1:1 as possible, which they didn't.
Not seen a thread on this yet but rumours around that Toyota/BMW are putting the new M3/4 engine in the Supra.
