Porsche can run a very simple DME test of rev thresholds. This covers how many times over the life of the car you buzzed the redline, how long over the red line you were, and how far above the redline you were.

From this analysis they will void your warranty. They will also use this data to deny long term warranties and Porsche Approved status. A friend bought a GT3 and didn't check for over-revs. He asked for the car to be evaluated for long term cover and was denied as the car had a number of serious over-revs. Essentially the previous owner (not a very good driver) had buzzed the redline on a number of occasions that showed they were done on the track.

Moral of the tale. If you exceed even advice offered in the manual the manufacturer can deny you warranty.
