Help, car turned off when coming to stop and will just crank

I’ll explain first, I have a 2013 Scion frs automatic. I was driving hard… I was at 135mph only problem I noticed was that I was on high rpm almost redlining and car wouldn’t throw another gear but I feel like that’s because there was no other gear to throw in. When I was getting off the freeway and coming to a stop the car just turned off on me. The car would not crank that night but the morning after it would crank but wouldn’t turn on. I haven’t had any issues with the car prior, no misfires, no codes, nothing, car has been perfectly fine till that night.
I decided to check my ignition coils thinking maybe one unplugged since I had that problem once but they looked fine to me. Now my problem is, like a rookie I decided to do that instead of checking the codes first, but I unplugged the ECU to check the coils and the battery to clean it and that cleared my codes can is there a way to get the codes back even when car doesn’t turn on??
And if anyone had something similar happen help pls

That's for going 135 mph on a highway in the US.

Maybe your car got overheated and that is why it stopped.

Maybe it's out of gas?

I suggest you have it towed to a shop and have them fix it.

I did 150 mph with mine, and some extended runs (10-15 minutes) well over 120 mph, these cars don't really overheat at those speeds. There's enough airflow to keep the oil around 115°C (240-ish). My guess is this is something else.

Tow it to a good mechanic who knows these cars. Or at least a Subie shop.

This has led me to some asshole on the miata forums asking "Top speed for a stock FR-S?"
That was over 10 years ago.
XD

On flat ground! I was surprised as well. Cold-ish, dry air may have helped, as probably did the worn out (i.e. smaller diameter) tyres. For some reason the car felt in particularly good shape that day.

It was an express IKEA run before an expected lockdown
