Maybe. How long would it take to burn off?

Could it be that there is condensation formed on some of the plugs that
needs to 
have some heat built to dry them off enough to fire?

Mike - 
Thanks for the reply. I'm still not sure I'm convinced as to the reason my
car takes 3-4 minutes to fire on all cylinders when it hasn't run for 4
months, but in any case in this particular instance my car has solid
lifters. So it could explain other peoples' problems but not mine...

I do agree with others in that my experience has been that the car never
runs better than when it is being used daily. I took the Pantera to Italy
about 7-8 years ago for a project (my company agreed to pay gas and tolls
instead of an airline ticket - I think they lost badly!!) and used it as a
daily driver for a month. I don't think that the engine has ever been so
happy or has ever started so readily. So the secret is indeed to use them!

Thanks!

As everyone else stated the gasoline dissipates and probably what no one
else has mentioned why the engine's seems to run on a few cylinder's, then a
few more until finally its running on all 8 cylinders is- its takes  awhile
for the hydraulic lifters to build up pressure so it will open the valves
properly ( most engines use hydraulics), my 2 cts
