Default Gear options for 1996

What were the gear options on auto tranny vettes in 1996? Were 2:73's ever an option on any year..
The reason im asking is that i just bought a rear end from a forum member. He said that they were 2:73's and i was wondering if he meant 2:59. No disrespect to him intended at all... i just want to make sure i program my computer right.

I have heard some say that verts came with 2.73, but mine had the 2.59. Why dont you just count the teeth on the ring and pinion and see what it is.

Well for that he'dd have to open the damn thing. Best is to see that suspenssion table or check the serial # or just turn the pinion and long enough for the axle to do a full rotation and count the truns on the pinion. 2 1/2 turns means its a 2.59 gears and 2 3/4 its a 2.73 gear. Its the easiest way to be 100% sure on it.

Preston, it looks like it is either 2.59 or 3.07.
