    The voltage drops when the car is starting FYI.

    How much depends on the current draw of the starter.

    See its really hard to explain...after the car is started, its like a second before the lights dim, then return to normal. And the rpms dont bog or anything, its like they dim independantly drom the starter or engine load...Id make a quick video, but my car is put away for the winter...
