What are the gears (or the gear ratio) in a stock 1999 vert? I was thinking it was 2:72 but I have been told by others that sounds incorrect. Any help is much appreciated.

A '99 MM6 has a final drive ratio of 3.42. I don't know about the individual gears although they've been posted lots of times in the forum.

I have a manual transmission. If not my car, would there have been any C5's with 2:72's ?
