I’m also used to high horsepower cars (2 Hellcats, 2 RedEyes and multiple others) so I don’t think it’s user error. Any thoughts appreciated.
The only time I have any traction issues with my SVR on dry pavement is when the tires are cold. The P Zeros aren't the greatest tire summer and they for sure are harder and more slippery than a Pilot Sport when cold.

Point taken on Pirellis I was thinking this might be the problem, just wanted to see what others were experiencing before Intake it to the dealer to get TC looked or change tyres or lessen traction expectations and drive accordingly.
Sorry for the late reply. I haven't experienced this in my SVR, but I don't recall doing this in wet conditions. I just recently put on the new Continental Summer Performance tires. I have done this in try conditions, but don't recall this happening. Will give it a try over the weekend. We haven't seen rain in awhile here so no wet traction testing in the next week or so at least.

I have been on the track 4 times and exhibited no such tendencies. I settled on 35 psi front, 37 psi rear cold as the pressures for the track - well balanced. I suggest you bias your tire pressures more to the front next time. I'd start with as much as a 1 or 2 psi bias based on your existing cold pressures (and don't re-adjust hot!). In other words, if you were running 35 psi front, 37 psi rear - start the next time with 36 front 37 rear or perhaps all at 37. Adjust from there (don't worry what the actual pressure is, simply add or subtract 1 psi at a time). You add air to the end of the car that is not gripping to your likes.
