I am a new owner. Car runs fantastic but sometimes takes a little while for it to start. Most cars I have had start right away. Ideas or normal?

Welcome.....seems I have talked with you before somewhere :D

4 or 5 seconds is more or less normal.....that also lets some oil pressure start building up as the oil filter probably drained back overnight.
After the LT5 fires up the oil pressure will come up a couple seconds later.

Since you are a new owner.........Here is what I use for lubricants and Oil Filter.
One of the first things I do when getting hands on a "New" ZR1 is change ALL fluids.

LT5/ZR-1 Fluids (http://forums.corvetteforum.com/c4-zr-1-discussion/3005470-tech-info-lt5-modifications-rebuild-tricks-500-hp.html#post1580070550)

Thanks, I'd say that timing is about right.
