Except that front engine front drive configuration can give the ideal straight line stability particularly in the wet. Like a throw dart the front weight has inherent stability. For quickness of turning things change. For accelerating the rear drive weight over the rear is probably best though all-wheel drive is very good at accelerating. Guess it depends what your trying to accomplish.
