You car sounds like it has a catastrophic failure and there should be NO guessing about the root cause.
These are good to great shops, then there is the other types.

Yes I'm going to try and stop by there today after work and have them pull it while I'm there or do it myself. I just don't feel right not seeing it myself and having them do it.
Also I don't make a habit of hitting redline during street driving and I almost never hit the limiter. I believe I downshifted to 6th to 3rd at around 80-90 mph. When I got in gear I was in the middle of the red field, i think. I am not 100% on this because i know what an over rev sounds like and everything was normal. I then shifted to 4th right after. I didn't notice anything till I was cruising later at lower speeds.
When I purchased the car in 2008 porsche recommended like 15k or 20k intervals for oil changes. Naturally, after research, I went with a little less than half that so that's why I'm doing 7k right now, but I can always change. More concerned about this issue right now though.
