Rear wheel drive=weight transfer. Rear wheel drive is at an advantage here. The FWD unloads the fronts at launch, causing wheelspin. The reason must RWD smoke 'em outta the hole is V-8 torque. Torque gets mass moving, horsepower is for top end speed. And nothing makes better torque than good ol' pushrod V-8s.
