This forum is full cheerleaders all agreeing with each other and never willing to rock the boat. IMO this started right around the time the Rep Points came around. I have been absent from this forum for the last 6 months because it is weak on opinions. If you want to say "yes dear" all day long do it with the wife. If you want to be a yes man do it at work. If you come to this forum, state your opinion, let's discuss the issues with facts and opinions and if you don't know the STFU or state that you don't know.
Let's stop caring how many positive reps you have an start caring about what you have to say.

Apparently the few who agree with you are the only ones who are not "cheerleaders" .
Like I said .. maybe another section is a good idea .
I still don't see what this has to do with the topic .
He's buying the car .
It seems like we all agree on one thing by wishing him the best .
Or is that unanimous "cheerleading" ?

Just remember the first time you down shift from fifth to third you will become a contributor and statistic. Lord knows we are perfect drivers and none of us have ever driven our cars aggressively or have ever considered using engine braking as a means to slow down whilst realizing you are going too fast to make the turn that lays ahead. I know all I use my car for is dropping my kid off at daycare and hitting SB's on the way home, never getting my car out of second gear on mile 1.5 commute.
Enjoy and drive the hell out of it, why else did you buy it?

Congrats!!!! Great guards red targa, she's a beauty. That is a great price, I had mine shipped from San Diego to Littleton, It was about $1,500, could had gotten a cheaper rate but I wanted it enclosed and with a lift that doesn't require using 2x4 to load.
Regarding the DME, I didn't know how to read it, I asked the mechanic who did it, He said there were a few over rev's but nothing that will hurt the engine.

LOL, I have always loved the guardsmen red, it is just so classic Porsche to me. My worry isn't resale, it's the cops!

GREAT response Larry. It has everything to do with the topic, the discussion of whether the DME scan was bad or not is the topic, and your response was based on useless information without any basis. My response and the others that that said no are based of of working models that have some amount of over revs and no problems. The end of the day, facts vs fiction, since you have admitted numerous times that you hardly drive either of your Porsches I would venture to bet that your answer is based on fiction.
As for finding another section, may I suggest the Off Topic section for your future comments, as you have failed to supply any supporting evidence to your claim.

Unlike you I have made NO assertions .. other than to "pass' in favor of cars which lack them .

The end of the day, facts vs fiction,
Cars which lack over revs exist . That is a fact as well .
This is not the only Porsche in the universe . That is a fact .
Claiming this car is 'perfect" .. woild require evidence to support the claim .
You have shown none .
Still waiting ..

A car either has the over revs or it does not . Those are facts. The mere fact that the title of the thread is posed as a question reveals doubt .
Why anyone would choose to buy a car wihen there are others which lack those attributes .. is not "BS" .. it's a conscious decision.
He made the choice . Good luck to him .

Its BS because many people speak like they know and they don't.
The OP asked whether people thought these overevs were OK. Many people gave the standard response...Pass. How many of those you said pass have actually experience with an over-reved car that went south.
He did the right thing, spoke with a pro and said he bought it.
Your response was .."eeesh"...why?..not confusion or doubt as you say...it was a jab at his choice..clear and to the point. Not very nice IMO. The choice was made...why not say ...good luck and move on.
Anyway...
I bought my car CPO's and was told the scan was good. Lots of good that did me. 300 miles later I had a new engine after the IMS went. Let me ask? Whats the test for that?
With all the doom and gloom on this forum its a wonder whether anyone should EVER buy any 911 that doesn't have a DFI engine. Or any 911 at all.
I have written the following many times before here...
You can buy a porsche worry and fret about over-revs, pristine condition, the dreaded 10K and 50K mile markers (larry, your the only person I have every heard mention that anywhere), worthless mods, tracking, IMS, RMS, swirl marks,...(did I miss any?).
Or you can get out and drive without all the worry and smile when you sit back and think how your day went.
Now Don can go do the second. With a car with a classic color.

The question is where does one draw the line ? That's an individual decision . To some its over revs. To others its a salvage title. To others it could be that a cooke crumb is in the front seat with ants Each peson has his own boundary and ultimately .. the car is his .. and what others would choose doesn't matter .

There is no enjoyment if one can't sell his car .
This is especially the case with the used car shopper who in most cases is trying to get the most benefit on the large expense .
I don't see anything wrong with a selective shopper .
