<< My car runs really well but around 3000 RPM I get a vibration coming from
 the engine, like the agitation in an electric shaver (A pretty loud BUZZ). 
 I can hear it and I can feel it through the gas pedal.  If I rev it over 
 ~3k rpm or drop below that ~3k rpm mark, it goes away.  It doesn't matter  
 what gear I'm in or what surface I'm currently driving on.  
 The only thing I do now is try to keep the revs below or above that 3k mark.
 
 If anyone has a clue what could be causing it, or how to remedy it, let me 
 know.   It's starting to bug me.

Terry,
I would check everything that goes around on the front of the engine.  Fan,
alternator, etc.   Sounds like something is vibrating, similar to wheel
balance.  If  this is the case, the vibrations may cause something to snap
eventually.
