How to disable AdvanceTrac?

on the 2013 GT MT, I know you can turn on\off the stabilitrack, but is there a toggle to switch between a "normal" and "sport" mode?

Sorry for the ******* question

Double click the traction control button and the display will tell you "SPORT MODE". You have to double click it fairly quickly to get it to work. Holding the button down for a full five seconds turns off all the nannies. It's not a stupid question, just a newb question...

Double tapping the traction control button while you're pressing the brake puts it in sport mode. This can be done while moving or at a stop

Ok... Not new... But what is the difference between normal and sport mode? I know there are two levels of traction control... But do not think I have heard of sport mode?...

Basically wider thresholds for Stability Control interventions and for traction control as well. Stability control will allow larger body slip angle before it kicks in to straighten you out, and TC will allow more wheel slip.

But! For only a few more words, TMS can describe it too!

Which years have this feature? I've always known how to turn of TC and Stability but haven't ever heard of "Sport" mode.

I know for a fact that 2013 and 2014 GTs with Brembo package and the Track Pack cars have it. My 2014 track pack does.

I though 2011s and 2012s with Brembo package had it too, but I could be wrong.

I thought the Boss Mustangs would have it as well
