For me the magic number is 450 bhp.

Whatever below 300 hp is considered moderate, nowhere near to term powerful.

About 200 hp per ton on a street car, on a offroader 300 hp per ton.

I don’t care about power, I care about how fun to drive the car is and how capable it is in the corners

Entirely Weight Dependent. I’d say most are pretty powerful with 300+ though if they weigh in the 3000lbs range

250 bhp is powerful enough

My general rule of thumb would be 350 and up for rwd/awd and 250 and up for fwd

200 bhp as long as the car has a good power to weight ratio. This is coming from someone who has owned: a Jeep, a Cobalt, a Mercury Grand Marquis (essentially a crown vic), and now owns a Volvo C30 T5. It truly does depend on how heavy your car is because my Volvo has just as much not as my Mercury (with about 40 less ft/lbs of torque) and it is much quicker.
