haha, my car sounds like its going to over rev everytime i start it in cold, especially when its been sitting for a while.
ive noticed a few ticks though...like it takes longer for the rev's to drop to idle(~730rpms) when you leave it alone vs driving it around.
also, when you leave it idling for it to warm up (about 1 min), if you put the car in gear and then take it back out, the revs will drop another 200rpms.
everytime i get a fresh oil change the engine noise reduces significantly. but after another 100miles its back to the normal engine noise.
