Naw, Ludedude needs more "likes" - it "was like" and "goes like". That is the slang of today - but "revving it to like 6-9K" is the salient issue here - he either did or did not - my guess is he "like over-revved" it, and it has as xviper eloquently stated, like "seized".

Sorry to bring you bad tidings, but this will be like a very expensive lesson that when street racing. getting caught up in the moment, and going for a few hundred extra revs, can bring a world of hurt. There is little or no "available overhead" in this engine - it is not like a little bit of valve float in a hydraulic cammer.

Ok here the full informantion
I beleived that I over reved my engine last night during the race. I hit 9000 rpm and then i heard a noise and my engine just died off. I tried to start my car again it won't turn on and all i see are my engine lights on. Yes indeed my engine seized. I'm no sure what to do should I just take my car back to the dealership? or take it somewhere else. Oh yea my car still have oil in the engine

PS I still have warrnety on the car.

Generally speaking, an over-rev will cause very obvious damage. Such damage as a result of this type of thing is not covered by warranty. If you have a good relationship with your dealership and you are polite and you know how to be convincing, get out your knee pads and go talk to them. Also take some mouth wash with you 'cause you should be doing a bit of ass kissing. The worse they can do is say NO.

I see that you are very young. They will automatically assume that you have been doing something you should not have been doing (like racing) and an over-rev is deemed as abuse.
