The stock tires wont make noise on most surfaces and wont leave marks so you probably are spinning. If your traction control is disabled but advancetrac is still on then it may be applying the rear brakes as well when you start getting a bit sideways. Like above poster said you can come to a complete stop, hold brake and hold the traction control button for 5-7 seconds and it will turn advancetrac compltely off.

Good Afternoon All,
So i just purchased a 2014 GT Automatic, Stock when I would put the peddal to the floor it would accelerate decent, shifting early etc but that's expected.
I just installed a Airaid CAI, and a bama tune. Using 93 Octane fuel and a race tune.
Now when i step on it from a very slow roll (i have advance track sport mode on) it feels like the *** end of the car is all over the road. I am not peeling out, it doesent sound of it and there are no marks. The car just feels like its being jerked hard and I have to let off the gas because it feels as if its about to come out from under me at 60+ miles an hour.
Can anyone explain this? Am I just being a p**** and tripping?
It just feels like something that would lose control if I just kept pushing it.

I would not recommend turning off the traction control until you can get the car to not flip out on you when you step on it. Otherwise your next thread might be about how you fish tailed it coming out of a turn after you planted your foot in it. Not wishing that on you, just saying that could be the outcome.
I had the exact same issue when I tuned my auto car several years ago with Stock tires. The rear would get squirrely on me if I was slow rolling and stepped on it. Upgraded the tires to summer tires and retrained my foot/brain, no more issues for me unless I want it to happen.

You can definitely be spinning the tires and not know it, I had an 13 AT and it did that a lot when I got on it with the stock pirellis.
Also from what I remember from reading the manual, the TC/advancetrac has 4 settings: On, TC off, Sport mode, and everything off. Sport mode has TC and stability on, just less sensitive so it lets you do more before it kicks in, but it will still kick in and stop you from completely losing control.
