Much better weight balance, and burn-outs in FWD just look lame.

When you accelerate, the weight shifts to the rear of the car. FWDs lose traction as the weight shifts away from the drive wheels. RWDs gain traction on acceleration.

Power drifts with FWD actually leads to an understeer, where the car will push off the curve. Very dangerous in performance driving situations.

There may be a few others, but that's my 2 sec drill.
