Rev ranges...

Looking at a 997 GT2. A previous owner told me that it had a rev in range 4 just before he bought so Porsche stripped it, took photos and approved the warranty.

I requested a 111pt check to be carried out. Here's the results: (copied from another forum)

The car has now had its 111pt check. Coupla silly things but this one is the most concerning..

"Over rev's in range 4, the car needs to be free of over rev's for the next 200 hours driving which would be 2,000miles approx. A compression test would need to be submitted to Porsche to get warranty approved"

In my thinking thats near 10k miles and a few years for me!

Could it be possible that they've picked up an old over rev (the one that happened at 1yr old 2k miles) or are they not that stoopid? I've requested the hours breakdown thing but not heard back yet.

I spoke to the seller again today to question when this range 4 actually happened and told him its daft to think I'll can do 200 hours in a short period of time.

Here's what he said (after speaking to Porsche)
"the car actually over rev'd 152 hours ago, so therefore doesn't need to do 200 hours".
So I ask "does that just mean it needs 48 hours rev free?".
"No, none at all. Just free from revs 5 and 6 - I'll send you the new report"

"Over rev's in range 4, the car needs to be free of over rev's in range 5 and 6 until the next 111 pt check is carried out. A compression test would need to be submitted to Porsche to get warranty approved"

Thanks Gez,

Does it sound correct to you however that Porsche have now changed the requirements (within a few days) and that the range 4 over rev is no longer in question?

Thanks lads. I've asked for the full DME report to see the exact hour/ ignitions / range etc but the garage (Ferrari) tell me porsche doesn't do that..
