Is it just me ???

Is it just me or does every Camaro make a huge noise for a like a min. or two, when u start it after a considerable amount of time's rest. Being a Noob, I initially thought that this is how a 323 HP beast would start up. But now that I have it for so long (6 months), I thought that I might ask everyone.. I will try and add a video of the engine sound when I get a chance.. But what do u guys think ?

Every motor idles higher when initially started and cold, after it warms up the idle drops. Higher idle means more movement within the engine, more movement almost always means more noise. Just like when you hit the gas the car gets louder, same principal.
