Default Rear End Question?

Quick Question:

Is there a way to tell what kind rear end gears are on your stang without taking it apart? I bought my 00' GT from a 2nd owner and whoever the first owner was put a new rear end on the car and the 2nd owner had no idea if they were 3.73's or 4.10's and so on. Anyone have a solution?

I have 4.10's and a t45 5 speed, at 80mph I'm at 4k rpm in 5th gear. You can use a gear calculator to figure it out as well.

Jack your car up, put it in neutral, turn the wheels and count how many turns you get out of your driveshaft. That will give you your ratio.
