That's the most absurd statement I recall seeing here in a while. I'd ask you to explain why you think that, but there's no point since it's a false statement. If you have too much power for any given situation, back off on the throttle so that there's less power being produced.

Rear wheel drive has fallen out of favor in passenger cars since the 1980s[citation needed], due in part to higher manufacturing costs, and that front wheel drive is safer to drive[1], and that it performs better on slippery roads.[2][3] However, some automobile brands, including Cadillac, Mercedes-Benz, BMW and Porsche continue to use rear wheel drive platforms. Rear wheel drive (or all-wheel drive) is still the preferred choice for high performance automobiles, due to the fact that very powerful front wheel drive cars tend to understeer.[4] The general limit of controllable power for a front wheel drive car is generally placed between 230 and 300 horsepower. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rear-wheel_drive
