A friend of mine is interested a 2010 GT3 with only 10K miles. Original price was 120K but now lowered to 112K - Should he walk away due to overrevs up to 6? Thanks

Has there actually been a Porsche engine fail from over revs without a money shift? I truly do not know.

How nice is the car?

Car has clean carfax no accidents and only 10K miles from a high end dealer. Been sitting for 6 months and they have lowered price.

If I am reading the report right, it looks like someone did a gnarly misshift to me at 75.4 operating hours but then the car has been driven a few hundred hours since to 335.6. Therefore, it doesn't seem like the overrevs damaged anything in relation to when it happened to current. So, I wouldn't walk on the car if it ticks all the other boxes you want, I would just recommend a closer PPI (i.e. looking inside the motor and etc. beyond the standard PPI). You can also do the math to verify this. For example, I am not even sure what 1 revolution is timewise. Definitely less than .01 second if my math is right. I think 320 is well under a second too for R5. Also, for the other ranges, I am pretty sure the times for the ranges past that is included (i.e. the time it did in R5 is part of the R5, 4, 3, 2, 1 time...).

Just factor in the big hit you'll take when you go to sell it as an individual down the road and make sure your current purchase discount covers it. I'm sure that'll be in the $10K-$15K range.

Agreed. If he can get it for 100-105k he should be pretty safe value wise.

I'd go 100k tops.

That data looks very odd to me. I have never seen a report which such close number of ignitions in all ranges. I am assuming the right number is at what operating hours... appears like loooong time ago so it's a safish bet.

It's obvious this was a single mis-shift that caused the over revs throughout every range. Not odd at all.

Sword, I know you didn't want to start another thread on this,... but it does seem the OP has received the feedback needed on that particular car.... so I don't mind asking....

can you clarify your above msg? .. I don't get it. ... what does 964/993 ... handling a GT car ... and PDK, all have in common?

Thanks,

Most over-revs have a x-mas tree effect. Every single count in range X will typically be double-counted in range X-1. Simply put you have to travel through range 4 to get into 5 and then travel back through 4 to get to 3. Most over revs reports don't have the pattern of the OP if you look at them closely.

He's saying the current or previous owners couldn't handle the tight gearbox found in a GT3 or club racecar hence the mis-shift
