There are several stages of imminent disintegration for the new 997s that will be evident in the log print out.

RPM Ranges:

1 - RPM Achieved 7300 to 7500 Likely Result Oh, behave Abuse
2 - RPM Achieved 7500 to 7700 Likely Result Ooooh! Abuse
3 - RPM Achieved 7700 to 7900 Likely Result Ouch! Abuse
4 - RPM Achieved 7900 to 8400 Likely Result Dammit! Did you here something pop too? Possible Damage
5 - RPM Achieved 8400 to 9500 Likely Result I’ve been hit! I am losing power! Definite damage
6 - RPM Achieved 9500 to 11000 Likely Result Live grenade! Take Cover! Going, going, gone!

The tech told me that Zone 1 and 2 will not likely effect warranty, but Zone 3 and above certainly would.

I had my car tested and after multiple track days and hard driving I had zero Zone 3 and above hits. YMMV.
