The manual, automatic button

Did anybody notice the button next to the gear shift that switches the car between automatic and manual transmission. It was just something I noticed today at the autoshow.

set it to manual, everytime you push it again, it'll boost the hp up to 700 and your 1/4mile time will be less than 3 secs

it said "auto-" on top and "manual" on bottom. Has this already been covered. My lack of use of the search button is pretty obvious.

As ii stated, its the water sprayer for the intercooler. It either sprays for 3 seconds every 5 seconds or whenever you wish if you press it to manual. I may be off on the automatic interval, but thats the idea.

So in recap, button = water sprayer, not magic 700 hp button and def, not magic manual to auto tranny button.

yea i agree with Phab,
it'd be cool to have a car like that..if u're tired of driving manual, just press a button and u could use your right hand for other things........
but if u're in the mood for getting the most out of the car, u press a button and u switch back to manul..it'd be cool
