Right in most cases.

FWD would spin less? I think that depends on the driver moreso.
Fair enough about the engine swaps.
Either way - all else the same - the forces a tyre in a FWD car is exerted to (keep in mind the tyres should be the SINGLE contact point between the car and the road) are MUCH less evenly distributed than a RWD, and for a performance car that is a very unwanted thing, as much so as high weight or low power.
