Question:

Was this a completely cold start (as in you hadn't started it in the previous 5 minutes just to make sure it would crank)? Just wondering, because mine barks like a **** on a cold start...yours just kinda rumbles to life.

Mine does too...its in a vid. (Although it wasn't cold outside, or it would bark more)

If you think about it, he pulled it out of the garage

I think they sound about the same to me actually...but it is so hard to tell from a camera. The bark sounds just like that...it barks before it settles down to a nice idle...it doesn't just rumble to life like that unless I'm doing a warm restart. I'll get a vid...it probably sounds like yours would have had you not moved it out of the garage. Even that short period of time is enough to make mine not bark at you.

I believe you can hear the "bark" that MeentSS02 is talking about if you listen to the clip in my sig titled "In car/3600 stall". It "barks" so loud right when it fires, it distorts the camera mic for a brief second from inside the car.

That's pretty much it...it probably would sound louder if your mic didn't distort.

Yep, and that was from inside the car with the windows up. My car's cold start "bark" has knocked a picture off the wall of our living room before.....the wife loved that one
