It would have to be big power COMBINED WITH massive gumball tire grip and an effective limited slip diff/launch control/flat foot shifting/etc., especially if 'leaving' from a stoplight, since we have the great disadvantage of that FWD weight transfer off of the driven wheels, which most of the high(er) performance rides do not have to worry about
at all.
Many on here who throw insane power at these cars do not address this issue at all (unless they use slicks/skinnies at the drag strip to help lessen it's detrimental effects), but I'm guessing that they are all 'roll racers', or maybe have their tunes set up like the old MKIV huge singles to have the power come on like those cars' old, 90* uphill power graphs, only at 7K+ revs, power bands.
I guess strutting, swaggering macho peak power numbers are great, but without traction/grip, they are
totally useless, functionally (at least) to me.
