Should I be concerned with Overspeeds or Misfire counter found in this report?
Also- is any information missing from this report? or is this the full DME results?

Can you see the number of "launch controls" on the DME report?

These ranges should be the same for the 991 Turbo as well. As I said, nothing to worry about. The car was driven hard at some point but you can't exceed the rev limiter without PDK having some massive failure, so nothing to worry about. DME reports don't tell you much in a PDK equipped car. At the end of the day, these cars are stout and I would not take this as a reason to be concerned.

Is it possible to over-rev a PDK, even pushing it hard on the track?
Even in "auto-manual" with the lever to the left, how does one over-rev a PDK?
Won't it shift just before that point?

A little tire spin or a decel where the car pushes forward a bit, unexpectedly. Say, you're braking downhill and the momentum carries you past redline as you transition to the brake.

I'm almost (repeat almost), sure, that you cannot over-rev a PDK Transmission..
I could be wrong, just repeating what the service manager and GM at my store told me in the past.

The only thing that could overrev a PDK-equipped car would be a PDK control unit failure. (or sensors, etc) the likeyhood is very low.

Thanks! Greatly appreciate any guidance. Am looking to buy my first 911 and found this car. Would hate for my first experience to be a bad one!
