Watch high horsepower V8s exit corners. NASCAR @ Sonoma is a great example. You can’t expect to make more power than a mclaren f1 AND be able to floor it out of corners without traction issues. The fastest lap times are achieved when the driver is on the very limit of grip. Your car should just be sliding a tiny bit. Also NLS in a manual is bound to upset traction further.

Of you weren’t across the country I’d let you try my simulator with VR and any V8 you’d like. You need to be gentle and smooth and roll into the throttle.

Edit: only remedies that come to mind are a) increase chassis rigidity (solid subframe bushings, spherical rod ends.. race car stuff that will ruin daily driving and NVH)
B) downforce. A proper rear diffuser and wing can increase traction, however it needs to be balanced, add in the rear and you’ll increase understeer
