Mine has it and says it on the window sticker. I wouldn't know the difference from the 3.31 because I never drove that one.

Seems like first gear would be wayyy too high with 3.31's. I usually don't engage the clutch until like 10mph as it is.
EDIT: Well actually i found out i do have the 3.31's, First gear is too high, i don't engage the clutch until like 10mph. But I can go over 100 MPH in 3rd.

There will be a tag on the diff cover. or use this link.... on page 8 of the pdf.

VIN AND PRODUCTION CODES

Thanks very much for posting this useful link!

It's interesting to see how some things (like the names of interior colors) changed when the car reached production.

whew,.... i can sleep tonight,... dealer said 3.55 and the vin has a cd for the axle ratio,... 3.55's and they should be 31 spline axle's.
the car is a cdn car, assembeled in flat rock, no mention of axle ratio anywhere on the build sheet,.. only thing it has is order code 130a gt coupe,..among its option lists, is the handeling package.

I was just wondering if anyone bought this upgrade when they got their mustang. It seems pretty cheap. Let me know if it is worth it.
I bought it. It costs $89. I think it is worth it because I'm probably not going to change the gears.

I thought the gear ratio is on the door sticker.
