Default bad sounding chatter

I've got a 98 camaro M6 and the other day i was driving it and a really bad chatter started once i got to highway speeds. its only when im OFF the gas, once i give it any gas at all it smooths out (while in gear, out of gear it still does it). it sounds like its coming from right underneath me. like rear of tranny back. ive got an LS7 clutch but already put about 2k miles on it and no problems since. got any ideas?

If its off the gas and weather or not your in gear is irrelevant, than that would leave me to believe something rear of the trans. U-joint?
