Assuming the car is roughly stock weight of 3500 pounds with driver, you'll need to get at least 400hp to the rear wheels to get in the 11's. That's also providing you can get the power to the ground. A 600hp car won't run 11's if it sits and spins the tires through each gear.
The lighter the car, the less hp is required.
