I have a couple of friends who are/used to be valets at nice restaurants, and they have tons of stories about whenever someone pulls up in a nice car and they go for a rip.
Not that I'm one to judge, I know I'd be worse than them if I was a valet
Most aftermarket ECUs can put your car into "valet mode", with the redline at 1500rpm and only partial throttle allowed. I know a lot of people who use this on their heavily modified cars (600hp Supras and such).
