No DSC BUTTON ON RX8 help?

So I got a auto sadly and I wanna drift so bad but you know before I get some ****** who will ask me this stupid question why? why a auto? you know maybe not everyone can get lucky and go buy a rx8 off of the lot how ever they want it to be,
I got my rx8 with luck I live in Kentucky. I just want to drift and I have seen some auto cars drift also I do know it can mess up the 'tranny' So it does not have the button at all I have looked under the left side of the steering wheel were my buddy has his and my buddies is a manual. I just want to do drifts. I heard of the sport mode having the system to turn on and off I don't know what is true or not so fill me in, Please don't comment if you have nothing nice to say because you'll just be wasting your time. Thanks
also a picture of my 8.
the one with the spoiler and sick *** wheels.

The rule about being civil in this forum applies to new members as well as old. You'll do better with a smaller chip on your shoulder.

No DSC button means you don't have DSC, so if you want to turn it off you're fine. If you want to turn it on, you need to trade for a different car.

And since you are so uptight about having an automatic, may I suggest you include getting a manual as part of that trade in.

or be like shell and spend an unholy amount of $ boosting your auto just to make m/t power then spend even more swapping the drivetrain to a stick set up

Lol .... i could be wrong, but i would take teams "no comment" as meaning he doesn't have anything nice to say, so he's not "wasting his time"
