Need help ASAP car won't start
So I started my car and let it sit for 10 minutes as usual before driving, took off to go to school and was shifting at 3k the whole way because it wasn't fully warm. It finally got warm and I redlined 1st from a light and got to the parking lot and pulled in and it made this large pop followed by a few other small pops and died. It will turn over and sound normal just won't start. Any Ideas?! Did I just blow my engine?

well aside from checking fuses to make sure you didnt loose fuel or spark, there isnt much you can do without tools.
with that, expect to be towing her home.
ive never lost an engine and had it complete "die" it would usually run on a single rotor. without any tools to start checking things, like spark, fuel, etc... not much we can do right now

might have knocked something loose or water was hiding somewhere.
quick and ghetto spark check would be to take a screwdriver metal end into the spark plug wires, then holding the insulated side gap it off something that is metal and attached to the body (which is most things). having someone crank you should see spark.
if you have spark, well check for fuel, which might be tricker since you need to know if the pump is pumping, and the injectors are injecting.
aside from that... you can take ou the lower leading spark plugs, one at a time, and crank the engine and listen to what the engine sounds like.

in my experience most fail either just after a hard pull, a minute or 2 after a hard pull or during cranking.
start with the obvious basics
spark
fuel
compression
ruling out ignition is easy, check to see if the tach is bouncing while cranking
fuel is a little tricky, is the tank above 1/4? can you hear the fuel pump with the gas cap off after tapping the starter?
compression is just a quick test but easier to do at home than a random parking lot

try disconnecting the various connectors to the coils, blow them out (might have water in there). same with the plug boots (but less likely due to multiple coils).
pretty sure hte water has something to do with it. might also be best to just let it sit for a couple hours to "dry out"
