Rear wheel drive. when you are accelerating hard the car's weight will shift toward the rear, which in general will help a rear wheel drive car get more traction, but make a front wheel drive car lose traction.
Also, when you are exiting a corner, you can usually apply throttle earlier in a rear wheel drive car.

Rear wheel drive because of weight distribution and rear wheel drive can transmit much more horsepower and torque to the ground without breaking - with current technology anyway.

It depends on what you mean by better. Do you mean traction? If so, then the axle that has the most weight on it would be better.
If you are talking about which system will handle the power better, then it will be the rear wheel dirve car since the parts are beefier and can handle more power.

Well RWD cars usually have much more hp and torque. If that's what you're asking. It's kinda hard to read your question.

it is based mainly on weight distribution.. a sedan works best with FWD.... a pickup truck needs RWD when loaded
