I'm not aware of a thread on this forum dedicated to engine starting videos, but if there is one that I didn't find my apologies :P I thought it might be fun to have one thread to share the vids that really get your motor running (ok I'll stop).
Doesn't have to be cold starts, just any old video of someone starting an engine that you like - yours or any other schmo from the internet.
I just saw this one on BAT today, which was the inspiration for this thread:
(Edit: I can't get the link to embed, so here it is - https://vimeo.com/763711437. In its stead, here's another video that isn't quite as cool)
And here's one of my own from last summer when I finally got the stock car running with a new fuel pump:
Here's another good one that made the rounds around here a couple months ago
One from when when I was selling a certain GRM favorite.
Your car won't beat the Spitfire. Nope .
These videos are not helping to squash my urge to get back into something rowdy. Keep 'em coming!

Shermans with the radial engine have delightfully rowdy starts

i don't know if its technically a cold start but it hits me right in the gut with that "whoa" feeling
In reply to ScottyB :
Holy E36 M3 that is an amazing sound

Me:
V24-71 Detroit with 12 blowers. Makes more like 4000 hp since this video. Makes you wonder what the torque is.
More for the revs than the startup, but I like how massless this engine seems:
"Ignition sequence start"
