Go listen to the failed CL65 AMG Edmunds video. Also, here are two V12s cranking and firing.

Looks like a Bentley Continental (I guess that would be a W12): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxYTfB9s ... e=youtu.be

Aston Martin V12 Vantage: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NJE6XsY ... e=youtu.be

MB S65 AMG V12 (right at the beginning): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJHhyAwiz1E

BMW 850 V12 (skip to 50 secs): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUt3c7SrWvI

So this is a thing.

As I was searching for stuff, I came across this thread of someone asking about this sound: http://g35driver.com/forums/g-spot/4075 ... sound.html
I guess I know what your talking about, people on GM B/D bodies (91-96 caprices/impalas, fleetwoods) would use a starter from (dont quote me) a corvette and it had a different sound to it.
It's like he read my mind. Also, this is true. The LT1 B-body people would try to find the Nippon Denso gear reduction starter from the Corvette LT1. It sounded cool. Here it is on a Roadmaster: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=78xQ2-chV5k

Sounds like the Chrysler starter...

Anyway, it always comes back to B-bodies. Which is correct.

Skip to 2:20 on the S65 Saabkyle video for more cranking: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bJHhyAwi ... be&t=2m18s

Better to watch all these videos on real speakers, also.
