Here are the six over rev ranges for the 997, which is completely different from the 996 which has only two ranges.
Range 1 - RPM Range 7,300 - 7,500
Range 2 - RPM Range 7,500 - 7,700
Range 3 - RPM Range 7,700 - 7,900
Range 4 - RPM Range 7,900 - 8,400
Range 5 - RPM Range 8,400 - 9,500
Range 6 - RPM Range 9,500 - 11,000
Range 1 - RPM Range 7,300 - 7,500

January Pano, page 71.
I got the DME Vehicle Data printout when I had my car serviced last week. Printout shows 2124 ignitions in Range 1, and no ignitions in any other Range. The 2124 ignition count is from about six rev limiter hits after failing to shift up in time while on track. No missed down-shifts.
For non-PCA members: the '05 Carrera S driver in the Panorama Tech Q&A got 2nd gear instead of 4th and pegged the tach. Said the car seems to be running fine now. Peter Smith responded that he'd seen some Range 6 numbers with no damage, but one that broke the flywheel apart to save the engine.
