Whats the difference?

What looks to be the "official" options list (https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...ad.php?t=83237)shows DSC as an option in the Sport Package.
However, in the "100% Options" (which I take to mean standard), there is:
214 Automatic Stabilty Control.

What is the difference between this and Dynamic Stability Control?

ASC is traction control. Will help eliminate wheelspin on slippery surfaces. Uses a power reduction to the slipping wheel.

DSC adds stability control to the traction control. DSC has yaw sensors that monitor the direction of motion of the car, plus the angle of the steering wheel, plus wheel speeds, and can apply the brakes to any specific wheel to correct a potential spin before it happens.
