The little red Suzuki "S" button on the wheel.

Has anyone pressed it. Its the one under the cruise bits. I was tempted to. The dealer said to NEVER press that unless it was an emergency.
Well today I had one. A buddy calls and tells me the twinkie supply down the street was gone! Coffee, gone too. So here I am snow coming in one hand and lack of needed supplies on the other. I had to other choice I had to push it.
Started the car and pushed the button. Sounded like a small growl occured. All the lights on the dash went from red/blue to dark red/red. Weird. Then AC/DC came on the stereo at +22 and I couldn't turn it off. The S logo appeard on the LCD one more time beeped the seemed to melt. the LCD screen flashed twice and 366hp showed up on the screen. I turned the car off imediately and went inside fearing for my life. I swear it said it was going to eat me (my name is Aundi Beamer) by name. I don't think I'll ever press that button again.
Did I break it?

So Suzuki... Where's the Red/White S symbol button. The other coach machines have it, if not as a sales gimmick why can't we have that kind of fun. Why can't we have one button that adjusts our engine a bit to tweak an extra 5-8hp, sharpen throttle response and increase break pressure. Not asking for the rocket science. Just a little button that turns the mild mannered car into a baby brute. I want the rip snarl exhaust, subtle but there. I want RED LED's in the headlights to turn on, just a pair to act like eyes. And I want my engine code to switch from best mpg's to best eta's. There is space right there on the wheel and if you do see it as a saftey concern, just adds to the glamor, place it high up away from the driver and make sure it locks in AWD regardless of our decision.
Thank You.
