And using EntityParent and PositionEntity, etc. EVERY FRAME could be very slow.

I may not understand you, but I don't see why you need to perform those checks every frame. Just perform them the first time you hit spacebar, like this:

If KeyHit(57) and cam_mode = 1
	cam_mode = 2
	EntityParent camera, car\entity
	PositionEntity camera, EntityX(car\entity), EntityY(car\entity)+30, EntityZ(car\entity)-10
	RotateEntity camera, EntityPitch(car\entity)+45, EntityYaw(car\entity), EntityPitch(car\entity)
EndIf

And then take these lines:

	EntityParent camera, car\entity
	PositionEntity camera, EntityX(car\entity), EntityY(car\entity)+30, EntityZ(car\entity)-10
	RotateEntity camera, EntityPitch(car\entity)+45, EntityYaw(car\entity), EntityPitch(car\entity)

out of the bit of code you posted at the top of this thread.
