I assume Porsche included the rev report as a way to deny warranty claims but for all the overhyped heartburn they cause I wish they hadn't.

I've gone out and documented the ignitions, done a log to 7k rpm, and then see increase in range 4s, when then highest the car ever revved was 69xx as reported by the ECU.

There are a ton of tuned cars on stock motors with raised redlines of 7-7800 with no issues.
