An engine tends to create countertorque on its engine mounts contrary to the direction it spins.

Top fuel dragsters are an extreme example of engine countertorque hindering vehicle performance.

So if you have a car with its rear-mid engine located transversely
Under acceleration engine countertorque will make the car either squat or dive.

Which one would be better?
One would say dive its better as it counters normal acceleration squat. But it also reduces rear wheel traction.

On the other hand while squat increases rear wheel traction it tends to lift front wheels thus reducing steering control.

Which one is better overall?
