If youre going to make to make apple to apples weight comparison, you have to option the Cayman appropriately. The Cayman weighs just shy of 3200lbs when optioned with an automatic and that's with the 2 way seats where the Supra has a 14 way. Toyota's sales department dropped the ball by including so many features standard making it look bloated on paper where as Porsche has very few options standard.

The Cayman weighs 3140 lbs with the auto, so you're still talking 250 lbs, and, depending on who you read, the weight savings of the 2- way vs. 14-way seats is anywhere from 20 to 50lbs, so we're still talking 200 lbs.
Either way, the Supra is heavy for its size, and, like you said, it apparently has too many options. When I had a Cayman, it was a manual with as few options as I could find. Heck, my Cayman only weighed around 2850 lbs, and I complained when the newer, heavier versions came out.
I mean, my 135i only weighs 3300-3400lbs, and it has four usable seats and a trunk.
