From: Calgary, AB. There's a reason why white was the only color offered on every year Corvette. Proud Canadian German Jamaican!

Piston slap, happens to the best of us. If it goes away in a bit, all is well, but if it stays then you might want to get it checked out.

The fix for it is to put on Borla Stingers or Bullets, you won't hear the slap anymore (really, that's what we do)
