That depends on alot of things. Battery condition, fuel condition, cable conditon, injectors, and of course GP's.
If you in single digit weather and you get it started in under 10 sec, your doing alright. You'll probably have more problems as you get close to -10 degrees though, but you should get it started, maybe rough though.
