Default Weird Noise?

the car was in storage all winter and just got her out about a week ago. change the oil and took her for a joy ride. stepped on it a few times everything seemed fine like normal. so today i took her out put a half a tank of 93 octane like i always do, so after doing so i got on the highway and hammered hit a few times, and started to hear weird clanking noises coming from the front end. i hope this is not my engine already. i was thinking it could be pinging because of stale gas and i just stirred it up by putting fresh 93 in it. what else could be the problem?

You described it as clanking so I am pretty sure its not pinging(you would know what a ping sounds like I would imagine). I've heard of piston slap occuring when our motors are cold so maybe thats what it is seeing as its been sitting all winter. Just an idea

the oil looks fine in the kb, and yes it was about 30 out yesterday so maybe the cold could effect it. it almost sounds like loose rocks are tumbling somewhere and it does not do it all the time. when i was at a light and took off it was fine, it was only when i was doing like a 60mph roll and hammered on it. im going to try it out today prolly throw some cam2 in her and see what happens.
