Any amount of hp that can spin tires fairly easily is enough to warrant 
the moniker "high hp."  For purposes of discussing the advantages of AWD, 
295hp is adequate in those cars.  If the equivalent 2wd car has traction 
trouble, then the AWD car is going to have an advantage as long as the 
handling and power are up to par.
