Default '99 auto performance axle ratio?

I purchased a '99 C5 vert automatic recently and am looking for information about the optional performance axle ratio. The Owner's manual and sales brochure make no mention of the option. The window sticker states that my car has the performance axle ratio option with no further information. Does any one know what the ratio is? What would have been the std ratio? :confused:

As Manny stated the performance rato is 3:15, and you can verify that by checking in your glove box for the two option codes also given by Manny. The standard ratio for an A4 is 2:73. All the 6 speed manuals come with 3:42's. There you have it!

Look for the sticker with all of the option codes on it. It will be in your glove box. Look for the last number for a G92 option. Check the entire list for it. This will denote a 3:15:1 final drive ratio.

Thanks guys. I'll take a look in the glovebox. I am certain that I have the option since I have a copy of the window sticker, I was just curious as to the ratio. I wonder how common this option is. Any body Know? :confused:
