You ran an engine with no oil? Yikes
That's an incredibly bad thing to do. Maybe you got lucky, but it sounds like you caused some serious damage. Have it towed to a competent mechanic and next time, no matter the car, just use a jack.

Can't add much to this, starting the engine without oil was a very bad idea. Get it flat bedded to a Porsche mechanic, I would leave the oil out.
Next time don't use ramps, and you won't have any issues getting all of the oil to drain out.
