What many mean when they say that an LSD equipped RWD car is just as good as AWD is that, in a RWD car one is able to adjust the attitude and direction of the vehicle easily in inclement weather.

A skilled driver is easily able to control the exact direction and yaw of a RWD car in any weather condition, and this makes RWD preferred to many enthusiasts.

AWD is excellent from a traction and straight line acceleration standpoint, but does not ultimately yield more mechanical grip in a cornering condition- although it does allow you to put a bit more power down while cornering, more easily.

I personally will take the RWD car on any day, in any condition. I prefer being in complete control of my car's behavior at all times.
