Powerful how? Horsepower, firepower, or both? Oh, hell, It's the same one. The Abrams series of tanks has probably the best track record in combat of any tank with the possible exception of the Merkava series. With a 120mm main gun, a .50 caliber machine gun, and two 7.62mm machine guns, it has the fire power to deal with almost any threat. A 1500 horsepower turbine engine is the most powerful engine ever put in a tank, with the exception of the 1500 horsepower diesel engine in the Leopard series of tanks, and IMO, the turbine is superior to the diesel.

M1Abrams, Challenger, L'Clair (sp), T-90S, Merkava Mk 4.....I'd say the latest model of Leopard II Main Battle Tank.
Abrams are fast, T-90s and Leclerc are faster. Merkava 3&4 are faster offroad.
Standard value for every modern tank is to rotate turrets 60 degree/sec.
All modern tanks can hit moving targets while they're moving. Leclerc and Merkava4 can do it even better through FCS-integrated autotracker and T-90 even much better through bore-launched ATGMs.
German Rh120mm/L55 tungsten, israeli-improved 120mm GIAT tungsten ans russian 125mm BM-44 U-Ni-Zn-alloy rounds have the same power through higher velocity (1750-1800 m/s instead of Abrams 1650 m/s)
And in HEAT-rounds soviets always led anyway, their new tandem charge HEAT-round with DU-liner has 800mm RHA-penetration.
I think, what gives me the choice of Leopard, besides the german history of good tank design, is their ability to deploy infra-decoys and smoke screens to hide from enemy tanks and heat seeking missiles.
