On a vert you get the 2.73 if you have the performance axle, the coupe gets the 3:07

Are you sure about that? I've never heard such a thing.

I know some early C4's had 2.73's and the C5's have 2.73's, but I never heard of a LT1 C4 with 2.73.

I know some early C4's had 2.73's and the C5's have 2.73's, but I never heard of a LT1 C4 with 2.73.
I am positive, I had a 1993 Vert with the G92 option and it had the 2.73 gears. I did some checking at the time, and found out that they did not put the 3.07 gear in the vert. However I am sure if someone special ordered the car they could of got 3.07 gears. If the performance axle was order on the vert you automatically got the 2.73 gear, and on the coupe you automatically got the 3.07 unless otherwise specified.

Look under your arm rest and check the option codes:
GU2 2.73 Rear Axle Ratio
G44 3.07 Rear Axle Ratio

By the way, the G92 option only cost $50.00

Mike

:iagree: Although I can't really speak for verts. Anyway the code for the 3.07 rear gear is G44. So you could specify G92, the performance axle, and then a different code for the actual gear ratio.

:cheers:
