Default Over-rev Report

Purchased a low milage (8K) '11 GTS through a local dealer in January, that was still under warranty. The original owner turned it in because they just didn't drive it enough. (Go figure!). Great car in excellent condition! Recently had an over-rev report done and the only entry was 23 over-revs in range 1, all done during the first 2.5 hours! Now, 245 hrs.! Appears that the dealer principal or over exuberant sales staff went out for some good runs, maybe with customers…….

OOPS! I forgot to mention it's a stick! No PDK here…… Guess I lucked out……..

Nice!! Difficult to over-rev a PDK so no worries for you.

Nice find. A GTS in a manual with aero. Want to trade?

Range one isn't anything to be concerned about. I've got about 6k range one inhibitions. It just means that the limiter was tickled.

Nice GTS! that is NOTHING! You got clean car, enjoy in good health

According to own research anything in the 4+ range is abuse. If you saw range 6 that might be permanent engine damage.
