Wytch - to be sure, if they knew how to drive it, they could easily beat me any day. However, the normal driver doesn't know how, so in general the FWD turns out to be faster on corners. Put me in a FWD against Jeremy Clarkson in a RWD? I don't stand a chance.
RWD will almost always be faster, no denying that.

Still, AWD beats all smile.gif
