I did make it to the dealer today... my software update was completed. Version 3625 was in the car and it updated to 3671... didn’t change anything from what I could tell. Tech said prolly just latest software the last GT cars came from factory with.

Is there any way to submit to Porsche a bug-report or feature request officially?

3rd gear, 3k RPM, put the clutch in and floor the throttle within .25-.5 seconds.
Does it hit a rev limiter or does it rev freely?
Would you happen to know your ECU's software version?

Had another "event" a few weeks ago when on the track. Coming into a sharp left turn, downshifted giving it some gas and... nothing, other than burbling or drowning as others have stated, zero power. Tried giving it some more gas after releasing the clutch and still the same. This was all in a matter of a few seconds as heading into the corner which was really disconcerting as effectively I did not have control or any engine management when I really needed it. Definitely scared me and good thing that no one was immediately on my tail. Engine did kick in with third try but I was unnerved. Also, not anywhere near the rev limiter. Spoke with the dealer service manager once again about the issue and have not heard anything back after a few weeks. I do not want that experience again on a track so will not be taking it back out to the track until this gets solved..... although somewhat drastic, thinking of taking it to the dealer and leaving it with them to fix and don't give it back to me until it is solved.
Anyone else lately?

I hope they can use some revised coding to fix this issue.

Handed my car in today, for scheduled maintenance. On top of the normal inspection/change items, they are updating the airbag, and... there is a new SW for the manual transmission control unit to be downloaded.
Although I can re-create the rev limiting behaviour described by OP, I have never seen it as a problem because it doesn't interfere at all with my driving style. However, it will be interesting to see if there's a difference somewhere, though.

Lots of us would greatly appreciate it!

Sure, will have the car back for the weekend, and will report back. Then I can also disclose if there was a SW version listed etc - today I just caught a glance when signing the hand-in papers.

Sorry, no - there was a misunderstanding between me and the dealer. I thought I would have the car back by now, I called them yesterday to schedule a pick up, but they had planned it to be ready for NEXT weekend...
(Obviously there are more things being done than the service, that's why it's taking some time. I'll report back as soon as I have it again.)

I had the SW update done last week for the manual transmission, certainly not sure if it is a "fix" for the problem. I have not had a recurrence since my track episode...

10k miles on the manual and never an issue
