No, they are easier for most people to handle in turns in case something goes wrong. Pushing a fwd car to the limits of adhesion and stepping on the gas doesn't result in a fish tail and 360's as easily as it will in a rear wheel drive. The problem with front drive is the forward weight bias. They both have advantages and in the hands of the right driver it is always a drivers game.
Personally I'd place my bets with an all-wheel drive with a 50/50 weight distribution... that'd be awesome.
