I think weight distribution comes into play too.
F12: 47/53 weight distribution, 2122 lbs over the rear wheels
Z06: 49/51 weight distribution, 1683 lbs over the rear wheels
So not only does the Z06 have a better power-to-weight ratio, but it has less weight over the rear wheels.
But it is a good point to bring up the F12 because I haven't seen any reviews mentioning an inability to put power to the ground.

At Ferrari there are discussions about AWD for the F12 replacement, if I'm not confusing something, the F12 had AWD prototypes. Again it depends on the engine, it is always easier to put NA power to the ground than FI power. What is unknown is what engine will Ferrari get later, I heard small displacement turbocharged V12 are coming, like 5.7 L.
