No, I don't think wheelbase is that important for handling.
I think CG and polar moment of inertia is much more important.

I am sure AWB cars would handle VERY poorly on a race track (e.g.,
24-hours of Daytona).  That is not what they were built for.

Subject: wheelbase questions potpurri

trying to remember something, help me out-
   Shorter wheelbase makes for better road   handling? Yes/No
    Longer wheelbase makes for better high speed stability? Yes/ No
   The AWB cars lost five inches of their wheelbase. what was the effect
   of this on their handling characteristics? 
   Now the last wheelbase questions- why did  funny cars have stretched
   noses and lengthened wheelbases, at least the second generation ones,
   1970s,high speed stability??
