Default Launching makes grinding noises

Hey, so when i launch my car pretty hard, i can hear a grinding sound that sounds like metal on metal (obviously never a good sign). Anyway, I have a couple people telling me it could be my driveshaft, springs, shocks, and a number of other things. Has anyone come across this before? Any ideas? It isn't just when i launch, but when i go fast, too. Hammering down the throttle if im going anywhere below 15 or 20 does this. Any ideas? Thanks guys!

A crunching sound? Gear grinding sound? Where is the sound located?

We need all the help we can get since we cannot hear it ourselves, otherwise good luck...

well it is a grinding/scraping sound coming from under the car. seems to be the driveshaft. i had one guy tell me it was a carrier bearring that went out, but i want to make sure of what it is before i get into it. i cant quite tell if it is toward the front or rear, but sounds like it could be right in the middle of the car. hope that helps a bit more.
