My guess here would be there are at least two factors combining to modify the operation of TCS.
% difference of wheel speed will be a lot lower at higher speeds than lower speeds when you lose traction. Traction control is of more value at higher speeds (it's not there to give you a good launch, it's a safety system). With the same wheelbase, going around a corner at the same speed as the donor vehicle will give a greater % diff across your wheels. TCS will be designed to cut in before you lose significant amounts of traction, i.e. it will be programmed conservatively. This is probably what is tripping you up.
You'll need to do some data logging in an original donor and your car though to know what the differences are, and you'll have to trigger TCS at lots of different speeds to get a good idea for how Ford programmed it in the first place (per Sideshow's suggestion).
Can you live with it?
