car starts up slow

my Z has been taking longer than normal to start up with only 53,000 miles starting today. i've also never changed the battery or spark plugs yet. could it be these two things or the alternator?

Could just be bad gas...
Dirty MAF...
Dirty TB Butterfly valve...
Dirty fuel Filter....
Dirty air filter...
Worn plugs...
And the list goes on....

I would first look at the battery. Just stop by an autozone and have them test your battery and charging system.

battery is on its way out. Mine started this at about the same miles. Replace the battery and it will crank normal again. From a waaaww,waaaaww,waaaaww to a Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni Ni!!! If that helps...lol
