I can understand what you're saying and all things being equal (such as the simplified 500HP example), the RWD is preferred. But I wouldn't automatically think a RWD car is better than a FWD car simply because its RWD. For example, I would want a Mini Cooper S on a twisty road that weighs 2500 lbs rather than a 5000 lb S-Class.
Just MO.
