Does the RX7's wheelbase hamper it at the 1/4 mile?

Just thinking the wheel base on the FD RX7 is only like 95 inches.

Now my MR2 Turbo was even worse, it was like 94.5". With my horsepower numbers it was never really an issue though, the car simply wasn't fast enough to risk launching into the wall or something.

But I know the higher hp guys said that the MR2 Turbo became much more difficult to launch and drive due to its short wheelbase. In fact there was a time we had the two fastest MR2 Turbo's in the world, this was before the high hp guys went with K20 swaps, and one did just that, launch and total itself into a wall. It was then one of the scant few 9 second MR2 Turbo's in the US, mid-2000's.

Does the FD have similar troubles? Perhaps it was more of an issue with the MR2 Turbo though due to its midengined layout, and problems with snap oversteer from wheel slippage and skids.

A short wheelbase tends to make the car react quicker, requiring the driver to react quicker to drive it successfully.

You should experience a Cobra.
90" wheelbase, and mine makes around 540HP, and you basically sit where the back seat would be, just ahead of the rear wheel.
When it steps out it happens really quick, and it can throw you around quite violently, especially when you regain traction and it straightens out.   

All that said, a short wheelbase aids in weight transfer on acceleration.
This is why the first "Funny Cars" had their rear axles moved forward.  It added static weight to the rear tires, and increased dynamic weight transfer on launch.
