A USA aircraft carrier launches a 30 tonne plane from zero to over 260 kilometers per hour in less than two seconds. Power requirement (gross) is circa 50,000 horsepower ~ 36,000,000 watts. No street-legal car can come close. Purpose-built drag racers can do better, but the FA-18 weighs 30 metric tonnes at launch. No drag racer comes close in weight; most weigh in at most 2 tonnes.
