Default sport mode / tune question

ok, I'm sure this is a dumb/n00b question, but here goes...

I thought all mustangs had the sport mode available, but now I learned that is not the case. my question is:

if I get a new tune, can the tune enable sport mode, or am I stuck with trac on/off only?

If you push the brake and hold the traction control button for like 8 seconds it turns the advance trac off. Not necessarily a sport mode but gives you control of the car

Sport mode only available in perf pack option afaik. A tuner can't give it to you.

The sport mode is nothing special. Basically it's the typical Ford Advancetrac but it just waits a little longer to take over. So it let's you push it a little further before the ecu corrects things.

I just run with Advancetrac totally off if I'm going for some dun driving, but I could see the advantage of having the sport mode. Still, REAL fun is having no assists on at all, in my opinion.
