Unhappy noise on starting
Anyone have a very mechanical noise upon starting that quickly (5 seconds) goes away. This only happens when the car is cold or has not been run for a few days. It sounds like the motor is about to eat itself. The dealer ofcourse says " all GT3s" sound like that.

I believe it is valve chatter until the oil fully circulates in the motor upon a cold startup after the car has sat for a few days.

Normal sound for the GT3 after it has been sitting for a while. Its the hydraulic lifters pumping up.
