You guys do realize that the only way anything bad would come up on the DME is if the guy money shifted the car, right? If OP has PDK, then it's not even possible to get a bad DME. Revving like a mad man and bouncing off the rev limiter will not result in any bad DME report. Besides, even if it did show up anything bad, how can you prove that the over-rev didn't occur before the service?
There are two camps here:
1) understands what these cars are, how they work, knows what they are built to do
2) love to baby their car, live in fear/paranoia, and rarely give themselves the opportunity to enjoy the car
Choose which camp you belong in, and follow that camp's advice.

Nevertheless, the owner of the car has the right to request that his car not be driven without his specific permission, and I have no doubt that any dealership would honor his request.

I have two points, now.
1. It's a car built with the track in mind. Since you can "race" anything that moves (even a tortise and a hare), and it's a car, I think I'm ok to call it a race car in the amatuer definition of the word.
2. You're being a *****, just for the sake of being a *****. Did I say/imply it was a "cup car", an "F1", "Indy"?? No, that's your narrow minded interpretation.
But since I've only been 11ft from a "real" race car, obviously we will all have to defer to your all knowing expertise.

Last time I had my oil changed it was between services and I had to tell them (after 5K) that I wanted it done. I ALWAYS hang out in the work area while they work on my car. Yep I'm that dude who is asking questions and watching every move. Not that I'm trying to second guess him because my dealership looks like they know what they are doing. Plus I'm looking at all the other cool Porshes in the shop. Way better than sitting watching CNN. Anyway, never have they taking my car for a spin afterwards. And if they did, I'm riding shotgun!!
