Default Help interpreting a DME?

Hey all--

Would really appreciate some help interpreting this DME. It's from a 2005 C2S with 31k miles on it.

I can't make heads or tails of most of the information. Does it seem pretty clean? Any signs of racing or other abuse?

If someone with more technical knowledge could take a look, would be grateful.

Thanks all, this forum is great.

I won't pretend to be able to interpret the lion's share of the data on there, but there are no ignitions over Range 2 (and very few in Ranges 1 and 2). Looks pretty clean for a car with 31k on the clock.

Actually the vast majority of information on a DME report is informational, i.e., various settings. As far as the over rev report, I agree with your assessment. There's nothing there that would make me hesitant to buy that car. Technically an over rev for a 997 is range 4 or higher.
