Default Gears...how do I find out what they are?
I am looking at getting a 2007 GT/CS and am trying to find out what the rear end gears might be. Will the VIN have that info? or is there a tag on the diff itself?

Underneath the car on the rear differential...

Or just look at the price sheet if you have access to it...

My 2008 GT/CS came with 3.31s...

just note yourspeed at say 2K RPM in 5thand match it to a gear chart. I dont recall the link but if u search for it you can find a chart for 3.55 ratio/4.10 ratio/3.73 ratio and the other stock config.

Hope that helps as an alternate to knowing
