Welcome to the Cobra world.

They're all like that.

First, the car has way more horsepower and torque that can be mechanically transferred from the power train to the road surface. Typically the tires are the weak link. Cold tires on cold pavement make the situation even worse.

Second, the short wheel base magnifies over-steer and under-steer events (wheels breaking loose) by an order of magnitude.

It's the nature of the beast.

You may improve it but you won't eliminate it.

Having a small block car by the nature of the lower hp does make it less deadly and more streetable.
