Default Z is having problems..input needed

So shes been sitting in the garage for like 2 days...i cranked her up this morning to move it out...as soon as i cranked it..for like 5 seconds i kept on hearing..a loud knocking noise and blue smoke came out of my exhaust..then it stopped...and the exhaust gas was an unusual smell...and then it stopped...when i rev it up..it doesnt feel as strong and rpms drop down slow..and a ****load of smoke comes out..my car is under warranty tho..
im thinking something with the valves, pistons maybe..anyone had this problem?

Are you the original owner?

Blue smoke = oil

Any mods on the engine?

Agree. Tow the car to the shop. You have oil in the combustion chamber.
