"There are great valets out there, but it only takes one bad experience to make sports-car owners reluctant to handing over the keys. An increasing number of cars now offer a performance-reduction capability for these situations, but Chevrolet is going a step further and incorporating the 2015 Corvette&amp;#039;s available Performance Data Recorder as a Valet Malfeasance Recorder.  READ MORE: The 2015 Corvette Z06 is the most powerful GM production car ever Turn on the unimaginatively named Corvette Valet Mode, and a few things happen: the interior storage is locked, the infotainment system is disabled, and a 720p camera in the windshield header trim pops on. It&amp;#039;s paired with a microphone to record audio. The GPS receiver is also tapped to provide vehicle telemetry, and 8 GB of SD card storage can capture 200 minutes of driving\u2014plenty of time for even the slowest valet to &amp;quot;park&amp;quot;.      SPY SHOTS: A better look at the 2016 Chevrolet Camaro If you want to see what happened after you handed off the keys, you can immediately review the events on the infotainment screen or download it to a computer later on. An overlay shows speed, RPM, gear position, and g-force\u2014pretty much what you get if you&amp;#039;re using the system in regular Performance Data Recorder mode. What the system can&amp;#039;t do, at the moment, is alert you if the car is being abused, or let you stream the video remotely\u2014perhaps in the future those capabilities could be integrated using GM&amp;#039;s 4G LTE or OnStar systems. More to the point, Valet Mode doesn&amp;#039;t seem to reduce engine power\u2014a strange oversight, and a feature that would alleviate more concerns about abuse than the ability to watch a video after the fact.  Useful? Chevrolet is pitching this as a &amp;quot;baby monitor&amp;quot; for a cherished toy, but unlike an actual baby monitor, it doesn&amp;#039;t let you hear if your baby&amp;#039;s crying. It might give you recourse, though, should come back to find your balled-up Corvette outside the casino.
