Hard to say. Density Altitude is the key. I've taken 1200 feet on a summer afternoon loaded with gas and passenger on grass. On the flip side, I've got off the ground (pavement) in a few hundred feet (or less) on cold winter days when the density altitude was in the minus thousands of feet. I have a Youtube video out there that shows N63PZ getting off the ground in a hurry a while back, in winter. Google "n63pz cold weather performance" and you'll find it....
I bet one of the STOL's could get off the ground without fully rotating a tire on some of these winter days, given uber-low density altitude and a headwind.
