haha. well, whenever i use my emergency brake for tricks, or when i want to, having the emergency brake where it is kind of kills me. i don't have as good of control on my left hand as I do with my right...so yeah. it would be cool to have a button...would make tricks much easier 
Heh, get yourself a MTX car and you'll quickly realize how you need to be really precise driving with the left hand..
Just teasing..

I don't know if you can do exactly this but there might be another alternative... On my KP61 Toyota Starlet I have a handbrake mod that disables the ratchet when I don't want it... For autocrossing and such, or just fooling around. Then when I need it I press a 2nd button to engage the ratchet. Note that this is my stripped-to-the-shell wannabe racecar, and this ghetto mod was installed by a great AE86 Toyota builder.. out of welded bar stock et al. ..Not too stylish.
A little investigation in the shop manual should turn up some valuable information if you want to defeat the ratchet mechanism..
