If you want to get hands on, swap your tires to the rear and see if the issue follows or goes away. I’m guessing it’s a wheel/tire balance/runout issue. The motors are held to a very high standard when it comes to balancing and tolerances. The hubs are also pretty high tolerance. The half shafts and rotors are not held to very tight tolerances, and the wheels/tires have extremely loose tolerances (hence wheel weights).
You can balance a tire to get rid of almost all vibration, but if there is a lateral balance issue, it can present itself like this. It’s easily fixed with a dynamic balancer and wheel weights.
If the wheel is out of round >1/8″ it should be discarded/replaced because it cannot be fixed with weights. 1/8″ is a rule of thumb though. On a car that is meant for this kind of performance, I would think that number would be lower. I can’t imagine how an 1/8″ out of round would feel/handle at 150+mph.

Good luck!
