Revving past rev limiter at idle?

No it doesn't lol. You can bounce *many* modern supercars and cars off the rev limiter (the red line). This is for emissions regulation and nothing else. Definitely not "to protect the engine". Recently drove a ferrari F8 tributo spyder and a portofino back-to-back. Both let you rev to red line no problem.

BTW, when you quickly pull on both paddles when the car is moving, the PDK goes in neutral and soft limiter is not activated, which allows free reving the engine to redline. I am curious if it the same on MT, where either putting the car in neutral or pressing the clutch while the car in motion would allow free reving the engine without the soft limiter.

For those who like to show off your pavement-princess in the parking lot, M-Tuner has a custom feature we can add to your tune that allows for the soft limiter to be removed in Neutral. Meaning you can put the car in "N" and rev it all the way up to redline. (for PDK2 cars)
There is no cost to add that feature. If you do it in "Sport" mode, the pops and burbles will be present as well.

Agreed. It has nothing to do with “protecting the engine”. Putting a lower rev limiter when the car is stationary as some manufacturers do is a rather recent trend. Electronic rev limiters have exited for quite some time, if it were about engine protection, sationary rev limiters would have implemented a long time ago. IMO it is all about meeting noise and/or emissions regulations.
BTW, when you quickly pull on both paddles when the car is moving, the PDK goes in neutral and soft limiter is not activated, which allows free reving the engine to redline.

Mine will too but not when I'm at a stop, at least that's as I've experienced. Not sure exactly what the parameters are but I know when I'm driving briskly and downshift it will rev past 3500 rpm. Need to try again I guess.

Welcome to the 992 forum. A bunch of warranty fearing old guys...lol. Fear mongering at it's finest. The day I start taking a car serious, or worrying about a car is going to be a sad day. Enjoy it! Rev away! I do it all the time haha

I don't think there is any launch control in the manual.... unless you are just describing how to launch any manual car and calling it launch control in a tounge in cheek way.
Yeah, all the fear mongers here who freak out over having fun with these cars, I wonder why they bother reading these threads anyway. I have my M Engineering tune set to raise the stationary rev limiter to 7000 RPMs and yeah, I rev it like a high school teen to hear the engine and exhaust. What's wrong with that? Why do people spend $5K... $10K on exhaust mods to make their cars louder if not to hear them and, ostensibly, so others can hear them as well? Why are so many of us intoxicated with the GT3s screaming to 9K RPM? Somehow that's acceptable but wanting to rev higher than 3500 RPM when stationary is embarrassing and childish? LMFAO.
