These cars are very smart and able to keep you pointing down the road even when you shouldnt be. The byproduct can be twitchy handling under WOT. If you watch some of the ZL1 track videos, you can see it even lock the front inside wheel if you are starting to step out in order to straighten you out again.
Any handling quirks are a byproduct of this very smart car keeping your ass on the street and not in a ditch unlike the mustang and hellcat folks.

That sounds a bit judgmental. The ZLE comes with solid aluminum bushings for a reason. It may not be necessary for street driven cars but for those on track, be that a zl or SS, solid bushings may provide value.
Back to the OP, your suspension was in the stiffest setting, sport is the sharpest throttle, Bridgestones are less grippy than the stock GY, my guess is you did goose it a bit too much and perhaps that plus surface conditions led to traction loss.
No harm no foul.
