Type 1s are caused by hitting and exceeding the rev limiter in the first range.
The recorded ignition attempts are the ones that the DME's set point failed to stop at max rpm minus 1.

Usually it does a great job of stopping it but not always..

I have a durametric run here with recorded type 1s.

Had to read 4 .xls books of rev limiter logs to capture them for that thread.

Right. I think Moot has the details on CPO, but over-revs are allowed except types 3 or 4 and above (whichever types in the newest ECU report likely internal damage, I think there's now 7 stages.)

A Porsche could be driven into the sea, and so long as they only have to paint two panels, so long as nobody notices the turtles under the seats or the Otter nesting in the airbox, they'll CPO it.

More seriously, the policy behind CPO changed after more strict audits came in, leaving the financial burden with the dealer that sells the CPO warranty product, not with PCNA. As I understand it. So, if they mistakenly CPO a car and find out later the car should not have passed inspection, it's the dealer on the hook. I think this makes the dealer more diligent, but the real strategy at play here is for PCNA to escape their obligation and leave it to the car owner to litigate and for the dealer (by the time of a warranty event, the car might be in another state, which would make sense since that's when buying a car out of state would encourage the buyer to take the promise of added protection against surprises) and anyone who has dealt with a Porsche dealer knows, unless you happen to be lucky to have one of the few ethical dealers involved, the response will be sandbagging and corners cut.

In a word, CPO is not much better, just longer.

Doesn't bother checking damage. Doesn't get it off line. Just drives off spewing coolant.

So Hennessey Porsche's black RS 4.0 with 1100 miles at $225/K is a good deal? MSRP was 198/K.

Msrp was $198k and that would be the correct price.
