Default Re: Valet Switch for the c5 (allegro)

If I'm not mistaken, those that have not properly installed the CLB had a "reduced engine power" signal. So, if one was to interrupt the CLB signal with a hidden switch it should put the car in VALET mode.

Although I never let anyone drive my vette. I just ask valet where I can park it or find another place to eat.

Cheap and easy way = do not valet park your car. I heard alot of horror stories involving high end sports cars and young valet attendants. Remember Ferris Bueller and his friend's dad's Ferrari?

Sounds like a perfect project for Top Down Tech. They did such a great job with the window up/down thingy this should be a piece of cake.

the ZR-1 had 2 sets of intake ports and the switch only allowed 1 set to open cutting the air flow in half.

You would want to modify the rev limiter value to keep the revs below 2,500 and force the traction controll on..

I always leave a sticky note just above the mileage with the exact miles on it when i leave. (i do this every where i take the car, even the dealer)

I actually valet at a country club/golf course. One time i got into this aston martin db7 vantage volante i rev'd it up a little and bamm... nothing it had a valet switch and couldn't even break the tires loose....The best way to handle valet's is to not use them, or get yourself a good pimp cane and when you hand them the keys procede to pull your pimp cane back so they know you mean business.
