In the late 70s and 80's, most non-compact cars were still RWD. But that was before they were really able to make up for all the EPA gimos on the cars. So called performance V8s could have a whopping 200 hp on a 3400lb car. Most standard mid or full size sedans or coupes had even less during that period. Pretty tough to spin the wheels by accident in those cars. So if your experiences with RWD were with cars from that period, it might take some getting used to driving a modern performance RWD car.
