FWD and RWD are not the same. You can drive a loose FWD fast because it turns in better, but you can literally pull is straight with throttle (especially if you have a limited slip).
If the rear of a RWD moves around too much, that option is not there. Now I'll happily admit that you can get away with one of these cars looser than say a Corvette. Not as much power to get you in trouble. However by the same token that lack of power means if you get sideways it's speed scrubbed you can never get back. What you want is balance, pure balance. This is something that has been a problem getting the "subaru" guys to understand. While the car is a Subaru mostly, it's not like a WRX or an STi, or what have you. It's not super nose heavy, it's not AWD.. no front wheel drive to help fix things.
