Default Valet Setting

Is a valet setting available through the factory or aftermarket computer that could be used to limit engine speed? If aftermarket only, where can I buy one?

Thanks

Hmmm, I don't understand why you would even allow valet in the first place. When I park somewhere, it's out in the boonies and I walk, so I don't care.....no one else drives my baby!

I usuall drive my Vette right into the valet lot and park it myself. I slip the valet a $5 when I walk by him and I keep the fob in my pocket!!!

I was looking for something that I could use when I must turn the car over for service/repair.

I think window valet atleast records the speed/rpms that way you can show what they did while in the car.

That is correct. Also you need a warning sticker on the dash to tell the service folks you will be back with a bat if they abuse your car.

AFAIK, there's no such option available with the car from the factory. Couldn't tell you anything about aftermarket.
