Unless somebody changed to aftermarket it's the same 3.42 ratio and gear size as every other C6 Manual trans.

You afraid the C5 folks wouldn't have the answer to that question?

The original poster has a C6, so I assume that he simply posted on the forum that he usually posts. I would further assume that the moderators moved his post to C5 Gen from C6 Gen....since it applies here and not there.

Can't we all just get along?

3.42 is the standard rear ratio on all C5's and C6's with manual transmissions.
