"run a straighter line" ?
LONG wheelbase provides stability in straight line.
Biggest problem with powerful short wheelbase RWD/AWD is the tendency that if one wheel slips then the driving wheel at the rear will kick the car out of line.
GroupB rally cars were the ultimate AND a real handful to keep straight ( and safe ).
