First, figure out your alignment. Negative camber will really give you a lot of grip. Absence of it will really sacrifice grip. The stock car comes with much more negative camber in the rear for stability. You will want to increase negative camber on the front end to increase balance. Only when you have camber dialed in do you want to change sways. For this part you will need mods to balance the camber F/R, unless you reduce rear (not recommended).
Toe is also very important. Toe in adds stability. You want toe in F and R but not too much. You can try toe out alignments for more maneuverability, but not recommended except for slow tracks like autocross.
Now, traction and stability control are two different things. Traction control keeps your wheels spinning up too much when you apply power and stability control tries to keep the car from getting too out of sorts as a result of manhandling, like letting off and turning at high speed. Of course you don't want either aid when learning to drive hard or they will mask what's really going on. As will excessive power and weight like a 1M has.
Letting off especially at high speed puts all your grip in the front and takes it out of the rear and since the car is very responsive at speed there is little room for improper inputs. Try to be gentle with that if you can't do it in a straight line, and increase your speed slowly.
