Bad Misfire!

Ok so last friday night, i took the car out, with a buddy and went out to a empty road, turned on the bottle and let her rip.......everything went fine, about 5r minutes later i hear a small thumping almost like i had a flat tire, it was not overly loud, but soon turned to violent engine shaking due to a misfire and a flashing service engine soon light......then the engine smoothed out, then got voilent, this repeated until i got into my neighborood and then i barely limped it into the garage.

any ideas where to start?

I would get the car scanned, that may give you some hints on where to start.

Pull each spark plug and give em a look. Take the oil filter off and cut it open. If anything is wrong you should see it.
