You should read the comments from the peanut gallery on any 996/997 BaT auction. I always get the impression a lot of those guys are casual car enthusiasts who once heard someone mention 911 DME reports and their echo chamber has spun them into this be-all-end-all hysteria. It's funny.

it is amazing, porsche guys are the only ones who are up in arms about **** like this.......bought every other manufacturer and never have to deal with people complaining about stuff like this.....its actually amazing.....your bent out of shape on an overrev in a carrera S but we dont run these when you buy an aventador.
i think DME worries are for manual cars. Aventador can’t over rev since it’s an auto. I think it is a smart way to know what yo u are getting into. If it is good enough for Porsche to void your warranty and tell you that you are **** out of luck, then I think buyers and sellers should just be upfront about it. I’d rather worry about a DME and not a resprayed front bumper. To each his own.
Also...to be clear....over rev isn't really worrying about driving the car near redline.....it is more so taking a look at the over rec that MECHANICALLY occurs when you are doing high speeds and you mis shift into a lower gear. A that point the wheel rpm feeds back into engine and the engine RPM is taken to levels that are usually prevented by the ecu and fuel cutoff and rev limiters etc. This instantaneous stress on the internals
