TC/Stabilitrak/Active Torque Management question

Hi! I have a question on how these nannies work: TC/Stabilitrak/Active Torque Management.

I'm new to the 2018 SS. I went to pass from 35 ish and decided to give it the beans, WOT. However, I could feel that the car was not giving me its all. The rear end wiggled a bit, the RPMs increased steadily and smoothly, but it felt like it wasn't hooking (but no tire squeal). They are brand new Pirelli all seasons.. and being focused on the road, didnt notice a flashing dash TC light, and it certainly didnt cut power abruptly.

My question is, are these "nannies" sophisticated enough to work this passively and smoothly? Could the active torque management be reeling her in in the background? or was I just really not hooking up (was also 30* out)?

The last true performance RWD I experienced was an 09 CTSV that truly put you in your place with the nannies cutting power/braking if you tried to drive it aggressively lol.

Although clean bill of health from the Chevy dealer I bought it from, just letting my anxiety get the better of me that it was limiting power for some other reason,and feeling bashful that my butt dyno wasnt picking up that the rear was loose (esp since it was quiet and no lights), and that mechanically nothing was slipping. Just the tires not hooking.
