Default Mechanical Problem Help Please!!

I have a 2001 cobra, As of the last week whenever i go over 40 my car starts to rattle. And it gets progressively worse the faster that i go. When i press on the trottle it kind of goes away, but it rattles alot when i take my foot off. What do you guys think that It could be, I checked my tire preasure and their all the same. Any ideas?

if the tires are cupped there will be almost no way for you to tell, but you should feel a wavy pattern in your hand over the tread
