The only Valet that should touch a Vette is a Window Valet.

Drove a new Lincoln the other day and it had a Valet Key and it looked different from the regular key. Just WTH is a valet key.

Valet keys have different functions depending on the model of car. My BMW valet key only functioned on the door lock and the ignition. I could lock up the trunk and the glove box and no valet could access those areas. I've never heard of it but I believe that the ignition should recognize the valet key and automatically set a 3k rpm rev limiter.
