Yes, but as long as it's not some really low powered vehicle, it'll launch better. I said after the launch RWD has upper hand because of the drivetrain loss. But it's better to actually get traction than spin when launching. Though if you only have like 130hp  , than RWD would be faster,, but once you exceed how much grip the RWD tires can get, than AWD will launch faster, but be slower once going.
