I remember testing traction with a Z3 M Coupe. With well over 300 hp, a manual gearbox and no traction control, I thought it would be easy to provoke wheelspin. It was raining, and the car had studless winter tires. Driving in first gear on a straight road, it was not enough to just flatten the throttle pedal. No wheelspin. I had to use the grip for cornering or use the clutch to make it spin.
I would say you have plenty of traction even on rainy days with RWD.
