Is the Rx8 supposed to start like this?

Went to the dealer today. One of the guys came out and cranked it, and it did what it always does. He said it's completely normal. It's a normal characteristic of the RX8 to take 4-5 turns before it cranks. It cranks basically the same as either of the videos jason posted here

negatory. That was my next step but I didn't want to throw out the money if it wasn't needed.
I mentioned coils and plus, and also mentioned that other rx8 owners that I knew had told me it wasn't normal. He still insisted it was completely normal for a rotary since it needs a lot of fuel to crank.

Yea I saw the ignition system he's got on there but that's 500 bucks I'm not willing to part with at the moment. The rest is just plugs and wires, no coils. I guess I'll find them elsewhere. I'm guessing I shouldn't go with the $25 coils from advance? :|
