I'd like to see one of these tuned Supras run against an Enzo or Carerra GT.

If a Supra can beat a R1 it would destory an Enzo or a Carerra GT... the Ferrari nor the Porsche can trap at 135+ MPH.

low demand, high cost to produce.

also of note in the video is the camera car, a modded Viper at full throttle. gives you a good perspective of just how fast the Supra and R1 are.

That's no stock Turbo Supra - you'd need somewhere around 600+HP to beat an R1 or any liter class superbike. We're talking high 10s 1/4mi bikes.

better than that, more like mid 9s to low 10s. I ran a 10.9 in my stock R6.

from low speeds, yes (like under 80 mph) - past like 100 mph, it's not as hard to beat liter bikes - I mean, like ~500hp will do it.
