Got panicked, but eventually the car limped to a stop safely on the side of the road.. Tried restarting it and it was back to normal...
I wonder what made the Zs' engine died unpredictably? Any ideas guys? was it because i put the gear on neutral too soon after aggressive revs?? sudden drop of heat to the engine oil perhaps? i dunno?? Please advice.... Thanks....

Were you low on fuel? A complete engine cut like that has mostly only been experienced by people driving hard when below 1/4 tank. I don't think it has anything to do with oil temperature, this is not limp mode.
