More acceleration only increases rear grip to a certain point, after which it begins to decrease it rather rapidly. I've driven MR2s, for example, that got totally sideways rolling onto the gas out of 2nd and 3rd gear corners.
IMO, it depends on what sort of power you want to make, and how sticky of tires you are goign to put on the car. I think Fran absolutely made the right choice; I don't think a 1200lb SL-R with decent power will have much trouble burning the rears on corner exit. Me, I like powerful cars. I'll take as much weight over the rear as I can get without doing wheelies
