HSTC and ABS (on/off) - 6 speed (standard) model

I am seeing different opinions about wether ABS (on/off) and HSTC will be part of the standard (6 speed) model. The wording on the Honda web site is a bit vague. Anyone know for sure?

Also, does anyone know how HSTC works? My understanding is that it somehow regulates torque going to the rear wheel - thus controlling wheel spin. Does it work through a slipper clutch or/ fuel injector mapping or/ variable valve timing?

Just killing time watching the parade and waiting for Thanksgiving dinner - Happy Thanksgiving!

Thanks for the reply.

I think you are correct that ABS and HSTC will "standard" on both the 6 spd and DCT models.

Great article about how traction control works - thanks. I also found a schematic of the HSTC system on another post in this forum.
