I dont know what cars you're talking about. Obviously if you put 500 hp in a FWD car and 500 HP in a RWD car, the RWD car would be the better drag car.
Take the new MazdaSpeed 3. FWD car with a turbocharged I4 that puts out bucket loads of torque (around 280 ft lbs) and 0-60 in under 6 seconds and they limit how much torque the engine puts out electronically in the first three gears to minimize wheelspin.
