oh I always listen to nuke 100% of the time.....almost....but you can't be caviler with a dealer IMHO, and tell them you will mod as much as you want, then expect them to fix your ride when you run with a tune and you set too lean and burn something up....i'm just saying, man up, fine but take like man when they make you pay, the warranty act thing that is out there saying they can never turn you down is bunk...sure your might get them to cover under warranty in a argument, after you have a lawyer paid for...if ever went that far...just assuming the worse could be..I'm done this is one of those conversations you'll never win so, bash on...I'm not commenting anymore on this one sorry guys/...

sport mode only can be selected....you can elect them to not set sport mode only and you can do yourself, this is an answer to your question, doesn't mean I'm going back on my word that I have no more comment, remember, I know nothing about SCT II, But I had the XCAL 3, '10 AND ABOVE STANGS was what was issued...maybe SCTII CANNOT.

Traction control disable is an OPTION with Custom Tunes. It's not a default, unless that's the way your tuner works.

The way Bama works, it's an option (drop-down menu) on the Tune Submission form that you need to fill out after you place your order for a tuner or custom tunes.

2010-down vehicles can have traction control turned off if they request it, like for Race tunes, or whatever your reason.

2011 vehicles, the new Stabilitrak is different, so TCS off is not an option.

LOL, Rick I hear ya!

Either way, for this discussion you're right... TCS cannot be turned off on 2011 3.7L V6s (or 5.0L GT's) since the new Stabilitrak system is different than previous years.

....but it can be turned off at the console w/ a tune installed? That's how I would want it anyway.
