I know that if the engine is sitting over the wheels that it gives power to like FWD and MRD (lol I dont think that one is right Mid-engine RWD) that the power has to travel less distance.
Yeah I think if it's mid-engine and rwd, it handles better because of the placement of the engine. And the way the weight is distributed.
