The stuttering nature of the vibration really gave me the sense that it was originating in the suspension or drivetrain, rather than from the wheels/tires. Especially with how unstable the car felt.

I agree with you Randall, that if it is a suspension or motor mount issue that could be high dollar, but as my car is new with only 4000 miles, I'm expecting the cause and repair to be 100% covered by Porsche. If not, I'll gladly drive the car through the showroom window for them! (Anyone remember that old Discount Tire commercial where the old lady throws the tire through the store window?)

I'll stop by the dealership either on Mon or Tues to begin the process of:
Me: there's a vibration
Dealer: no there isn't
Me: Uh, huh
Dealer, na uh
me: uh, huh, stupid
dealer: na, uh, i'm telling you called me stupid
10 minutes later - Fox news - an unidentified man drove off with new 911 from a soCal Porsche dealership and has been spotted driving along southern california freeways yelling - see, this one doesn't vibrate!!!!!!!!!!!!!
