Good thing someone was willing to go above and beyond the daily call of C8 duty and spare 16 seconds of their life..... 5 useful seconds to be exact.

Still sounded good.

Never understood the fascination with “cold starts”.

Believe it or not, cold starts always sound louder, more aggressive.

After the Vette warms up, the "start" is not as aggressive sounding.

Someone smarter than me may be able to explain the mechanics/physics of it.

Yeah, I get all that... I’ve owed performance vehicles all my life.

What I don’t get, is the fascination with it...
