Default Cold start cranking

New guy, not all that familiar with the 928 just yet, with a quick question. How long does it take to fire the car on a cold start? My other cars fire pretty quick, the 928 seems to go "one mississippi, vroom". Warm starts fire quicker. Service records indicate new Porsche wires, plugs, cap, rotor, within the past 7k miles, and a new battery installed 8 months ago. The other 928s I test drove before I settled on the one I bought were similar, but those were not well loved and maintained cars like this one has been.

Thanks!

My '85 (a DD) turns over just once or twice and then fires off when cold. It's actually faster than my wife's Mustang, which often sits for 2-3 weeks between uses. I guess you could say one mississippi before it fires off, but it doesn't seem like a lot to me. I honestly don't think there's a difference when it's warm.
