A transverse RWD car wouldn't have any different power delivery than a longitudinal RWD car. The difference is going to be in weight distribution, which is more complex than "X front, Y rear." Notice in your picture how the entire engine is ahead of the strut towers? That's typical for transverse engines, and also some cars with longitudinal engines like Subarus. You can balance that weight out by putting an equal weight in the same position in the back to give you a 50/50 weight distribution, but that gives you an extremely high polar moment of inertia, which makes the car resist changes in direction. Compare that to something like this Viper where the entire engine is behind the strut towers, closer to the center of the car.

What does that have to do with throttle position? You know what a throttle does, right? Hint: It's not related to fuel.
