you believe you are being made a victim of consumer fraud and if you can't get satisfaction you will be forced to file a complaint with the area's division of consumer fraud and let the agency and its people you.
Sincerely,
MarcW.

From what you've posted here, I'd say the Porsche dealership is being more than fair.
I know of no reason why hitting the redline would damage your clutch, unless it was in the context of a bunch of drag-race starts - dumping the clutch at redline rpm's.
These engine are made to be run to the redline.
As I say, this may not be what you want to hear, but in the absence of evidence that the dealership's work on/ use of the car caused or contributed to the damage, they wouldn't be in the hook.
From the sounds of it, they've made this offer as a goodwill gesture, as contrasted with any liability on their part.

The dealer has another problem and one I'd remind it of just to keep the GM awake at nights. All it takes is one of his employees hotrodding about and and to have an accident and the dealer could be facing a huge lawsuit.
I know of one dealer who's shuttle driver for some reason ran off the road -- within sight of the dealership -- and knocked over a light pole.
The shuttle driver was fired almost before the emergency vehicles arrived.
Sincerely,
