I made a big mistake last night.I was cruising down my block slow in 1st gear but yet at a high rpm...then I punched it.God damn mother **** that was stupid!I was like at 6.5k or maybe even 6.8k. 
I hit redline instantly and b4 I could even shift it went "beeeep pop pop pop" with a very bad vibration, then I seen white smoke out of my rear view and more poping as I tried to accelerate in 2nd.So I pulled over and popped the hood while it was running ruff at a weak idle.Seen nothing visionaly wrong so I closed the hood got in and tried to drive again but then the vibration got worse and so did the popping as I had to floor it to move a few feet.
Does it sound like I have a blown motor? Coolant seal?

Definatly sounds like you blew the motor. Do a compression test to confirm.

either way, you blow your motor being a ricer "i was driving down the block in first gear at around 6,800rpms"
ricer trying to be loud, who else would drive around a city block in first gear at 6800rpms?

First off I was alone and it was around 3:00am.Nobody was out on my block to try and impress and sound all loud like you claim I tried to do.I did it to see how much power was up that high if any.So assume that I blew my motor trying to be a ricer and get on with your bad self. The motor had around 65k on it (by word) when I bought the car anyways.I knew it's time was coming sooner or later.Now it's time for better things.
