In the wet an Evo/sti will kill just about anything. Active yaw control etc all help to get you round a corner faster than is physically possible in a Rwd/Fwd.

Agreed.
Both AWD and RWD tend to run wide if you go into a corner with a trailing throttle whereas a FWD will turn in better (unless its really awfully set up) which makes it feel grippier. In fact both my previous FWD cars had suspension changes designed to be capable of significant lift off oversteer which was a load of fun. You need to apply a bit of power as you turn in to keep the BMW tight IMO which is harder to get right than compared with the style needed for FWD (but that might be because Ive only had a RWD car for the last 18 months).
