To the best of my knowledge there is no such thing on the C5... Some cars do have them, but not the C5...

The 90-95 C4 ZR1s had the valet key. It shut down have of the injectors from 16 to 8 and limited the horse power.

I think a valet key is a key that only fits the ignition (not the glove box and such).

I vaguely remember a feature that allows you to view the last few min or last highest MPH.. so the trick would be to reset the value before handing you car off to the attendant then read it when you got your car back.. I believe its thru the DIC

Never heard of that and I don't think I have seen it in the c5 tips and tricks. I think the only way is if you have HPtuners/ls1 edit and set the paramaters to say 5mph other then that I'm 99.9% sure that their is no other way. At least not factory wise
