First off, welcome! You'll find some great resources and very helpful people around here. In regards to your question, the slight delay is probably due to the natural laggy nature of an automatic transmission with a torque converter. It should get a little better as you break her in a bit more. Now that I think about it (I have a manual), I do recall a slight delay back when I first got it. Maybe I just got used to it *shrug*
The reason the revs hang for a while is because of the flywheel, which is designed to preserve inertia from the drivetrain to make it easier for drivers to transition from gear to gear without any jerky motions; this can also contribute to the delay when revving up. Because of the additional mass (which is easier to keep in motion once in motion), it will take more work for the flywheel to move from a standstill.
A lighter flywheel would fix that, but don't get into that stuff until you look around and see what others do to their Zs and then decide what path you want to take.
