All M6 Vettes come from the factory with 3.42 gears, there are no factory installed optional gears.

Assuming that no one has changed the rear-end, you need to look in the glove compartment for the option code sticker. The rear-end option code usually starts with a "G". Then you can call the dealer (the parts department) or look them up on-line somewhere.

I was under my car last weekend and I found a plate on the trans that states the ratio.
