For me it's about FWD vs. RWD. I have a Renault Clio Sport R27 Team F1 edition, which is widely thought to be one of the best handling FWD cars ever made (refer to Evo magazine or even Best Motoring).

I'm selling the Clio Sport in favour of an 86 gt though simply because of the RWD factor. For me a well balanced RWD car just can't be matched for grins.

Interestingly, the Clio Sport's power, torque and weight are almost identical to the 86 as well, so I'm not even expecting more sheer speed!

The ability to play with the car - to drve it textbook smooth or hang it loose a bit - is what I'm after and no FWD car can offer that.
i actually think a fwd would enforce this more
