With RWD if you do a 180, the weight of the vehicle moves towards the rear where you can get more help in traction and use the RWD wheels to try to prevent your wreck.
I hope this makes sense. Its physics stuff... It's simply like having more brake power on your front wheels on every car during typical stop, where most of the car's weight is transferred to the front.
I understand it quite well. As far as drifting (i think the fad is dieing and played put though imo) a fwd car is useless.
A rwd car might have an advantage in the twisties but dont think there arent any fast fwd cars on the track either.
