It's not just about power. It's also about weight. Also when you are talking about that kind of acceleration, you need to be able to put that power to the ground. Maintaining traction with that much power is very difficult. They also will probbaly need the proper gearing to hit 60 MPH in 1st gear. The Ford GT comes close with 500HP.
A ferrari Enzo can do it in 3.2 seconds. and it has 650 HP

It really depends on the weight/size of the car or truck.
A Porsche would in theory take less power to get from 0-60 in 3.2 seconds than a full size car.

It depends.
Whats the weight of the vehicle? What's the slope of the road? How rough is the road surface? Is the emergency brake still on?

Too many possible factors to give you a good answer...it all depends on weight, gearing, transmission, tire size, etc.

Power means Brake Horse Power ( BHP ) :
Unit BHP is lbf. ft/sec , according this unit you must know weight of car than can calculate by converting lb to lbf ( pound force ) with gravity constata 32 lbf/lbft/sec^2. Please try it you can calculate that.

Power to weight ratio.
It's simple math.
