I'm sure it will be blamed on a broken exhaust valve...

I know the guy, he's pretty sure that it was a fuel line or fuel rail problem. He said he heard a high pressure release and felt a thud against the firewall. Him and his wife were ok, with no injuries. He just purchased the car from another local guy about a month ago I think? Made something like 617 rwhp, heads/cam/meth injection, etc. It was a really nice car.
