Personally I wound say anything that is less than 15 pounds/HP you are good.
The reason I say that is that my forster XT weighs 3600 pounds with 250 HP. Now I realize BMW folks would consider it measly. But for even a person that does not like to poke around flooring my XT does put me make in my seat. Now at the age of 74 I don't street race.....But..... a while back I am at a stop light in the left hand lane bc a half mile ahead so this dude in a LOUD Pickup..Dodge V-8 pulls beside revs it up.
I looked around and it wasn't even close...lol... After he was squashed out o his lane he back off and flies past me on the left ...But dude knew his ass was kicked. I had long gotten off of it.
But interestingly I owned a '69 Camaro 4 speed 307 V-8. But oddly enough my XT would easily beat it. Obviously modern engines and drive trains are better. AWD doesn't hurt. And I remember, no matter how I drove that old thing it always bot 16.6 mph. It had a 4.11 rear end. It ran out of RPM at about 100 mph. And my XT..much heavier usually gets 26 mpg.
