Default cranks very slow but starts every time

so i just picked up a 01 z28 hardtop. the car cranks very slowly like the battery is dead but it starts every time. i can drive it for 20 minutes, then try to start it immediately after shutting it down and it will crank slowly. the battery is good.
is this common for these cars? what are some of the things i need to look into to fix this issue?

My buddy had the same problem with his z28
In his case it was just an old battery.
You may not think it's bad but it probably is on it's way out
Just try swapping one out of a buddies car that has similar ccas
