Question on Starting Car

2000 GS300 with 114K..

Car starts great but I am used to my cars cranking over immediately after turning the key. This GS takes an extra second and the engine turns over 3-4 times more than an 'instant' ignition start like a new car....

Battery is new. Am i all alone with this?

Any ideas?

Was searching youtube today for some clips of GS300 exhausts. Each vid started with the car ignition being turned on. After listening to the clips I am not alone with the sound the GS300 makes during startup. Just sounds laboring to me compared to other autos I've owned.. Oh well..

thanks for the posts...
