Manual or Auto? Manuals have the 3:42's, and the auto's had the 2:73 or the 3:15's! There should be a G92 code, I think listed in your glove box or under one of the side compartment covers that may have this code. If so, then you have the 3:15's. If not it's the 2:73's

There should be a sticker in the glove box with all the options codes listed. If there is write them down and go to this website http://home.fuse.net/corvette/rpo.htm to find their meaning. I used this site to find all the options on my car, the list is more extensive than on idavette.net but it is a good site too. I hope you get a few welcomed surprises like I did.
