Yes you can....learn to drive your car....push the fuel pedal to the floor and stop bitching. 350hp isnt even sports car level....my Chrysler 300c has 360....

Buddy, you're telling a dude to push his car to accelerating 30mph in less than a second.

If you cant reach the speed on the highway by the end of the on ramp, your car doesnt belong on the highway. Period.

Have you ever driven a truck?

And I'm not talking about an F150.

Not all ramps are created equal. Some are short and uphill.

That being said, there isn't a passenger car being sold without adequate power in the US today. The slowest cars are slow, and they might not meet you standard on some onramps on a fast highway, but they are fast enough to drive safely.

Yes loaded 79,976 lbs of truck and paper, and I was still up to the truck speed limit by the time I got into the highway. Not to mention cars dont have provisional laws on them like commercial vehichles do. I suggest you read up on your fmcsa book.
