Pull your front engine cover.
The one behind the seats.
idle the motor and see if anything rotating like alt. air conditioning pump, anything that rotates is out of balance or loose.

Then look at your axle mounting flanges to the transmission.
There are 6 (I think) torks or allen head bolts make sure they are tight.

Let us know how you go
I will do this thanks. As for checking the engine for loose accessories, the noise acts as a function of vehicle speed, not engine speed. And you're exactly right when you said It sounds like a rotating mass out of balance. I will check the motor mounts and trans mounts. But I'm so afraid its something inside the transmission that it out of balance and needs to be replaced. Smells like something that would hurt the old wallet. I'm an 18 year old straight out of high school working hard to make the Porsche dream a reality. But still praying that it's something stupid that I'm missing.
