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 ).

A wider track has more to do with the straighter line as I put it. A longer wheel base is better for front to rear weight transfer which in turn improves stability.
