First things first.. try turning the motor over by hand.. if its trashed its likely gonna be locked.. drain the oil and check it.
Make sure it's not coming from the starter.. because it sounds like an extremely bad starter grind to me..
Peace,
Josh

Thats metal to metal 
First I'd pull the plugs and turn the motor over by hand--listen to it.
I would expect it might be the clutch area but you said the battery died at the same time which point's me to something bad like the battery died/fuel shutoff- while full blast which could lean out the motor.Hopefully it's something simple.

What happened is we were goin about 130 or so and there was a corner comin up, so my buddy slammed on the brakes and the clutch and that is when the motor turned off and had all these issues.
Is it possible the motor could still be the culprit in this situation?
Also, its got only 3k miles on the fully forged motor, I checked oil before we went out that night (which was full and clean) and coolant was topped off.

definetly pull the oil filter and cut it open that will tell you if the motor is gone or not. Also the drain plug will have all kinds of metal stuck to it. Also pull the plugs and see if there are broken or damaged. I don't know how you could sleep with that like that. I wouldn't be able to sleep until I knew what it was.
