If the car has been flashed and had the rev limiter raised to say 7000rpm, everytime the car went over 6750 it would appear as an over-rev. This does not mean there is damage to the car.

This is a likely incorrect assessment. The hours recorded is the last incident....there is no way to tell what actually happened at that incident unless you have a complete history (and therefore can see changes to the over rev conditions over time). It is more likely the car is hitting the rev 1 in spirited driving over time not all at once. In any case 440 rev 2s is minor IMHO.

I have to disagree You have no idea how far the rev 2 went, at least with rev 1 they hit the limiter. Rev 2do not! As I said in the past posts, my impression this car was tracked!

Sometimes when people track or autocross, they let the car bounce off the rev limiter instead of shifting into next gear when it is a short straight. It don't think it does any harm to the car.
