Is it me or is this car tail happy when making fast turns

I think a lot of people get too caught up in the 'power' of cars, versus what's arguably more important, which is the predictability and ease of use.

If you don't have full confidence to turn a car into a corner and know for a fact how it will react, you'll be slower than the guy that does.

Older muscle cars may have had a lot of power, but in my experience, there was next to no confidence on a factory, or even slightly modified setup when pushing the car. Its a thrilling experience, but its also sketchy as fuck. Compare that to a modern 2 door sports car with half the power, and you can chuck it any which way with full confidence.

Absolutely this! You can get nearly ANY RWD car to be tail happy, even my GR86 is tail happy at 180 hp to the ground. But it breaks predictably the EXACT same way every single time. You know exactly what the car is going to do, so it's not a "problem". Here is where I would say, practice so that you know how the car breaks traction, and where it's limits are. The more you can keep on the correct side of that limit, RIGHT up to that limit...the faster you generally are.

Second, honestly while I'm not a Chevy guy, Ford needs to pull their head out of their A** on their traction control system. It's terrible once you get into a Camaro/Corvette with the eLSD and PTM system. ZL1 on the track feels SO much better and more confidence inspiring with the PTM system. There are very few times where you feel out of control with it, because it's just so dialed in. It makes Ford's feel absolutely basic.

Yeah, Camaro's have largely always been the better performers compared to the Mustang.

Just a better chassis, suspension, etc.
