Default Engine this loud when startup (cold)

I have a question. Last weekend, I pickup a used '07 thats has 8700 miles. I noticed everytime I start the car up when it is cold, the car is very loud (and sometimes a strong vibration). I had a 350z before but it wasn't this loud.


Is this normal?

I park in the garage so the sounds magnifies.

Thanks,
Tony

Yeah, its normal. Your engine is still cold, should be about 1900RPM when you start up.

I agree. I have invidia exhaust and you should hear that on a cold start in the garage..., Revs about 2000 RPM but quickly comes down to about 900.
