What year Corvette? Automatic or Manual? Are they stock gears?
Other than suggested above. Look at the RPO's. It should be listed if still stock.
Best way is to jack the rear up, put the tranny in neutral, spin the rear wheel one rotation and count the number of times the driveshaft make a full rotation. Two in a half turns...2.59

can't always depend on the build sheet. That will only tell you what the car came with, they may have already been changed.
