The ratio is the same, the rear is not the same. Z06 has a stronger rear end than the Z-51/GS models get.

ok so the grand sport doesnt have the z06 rear end then...its still just the basic rear with the 3.42 gear right? axles arent stronger or anything?

From what I have read that is correct, only the Z06 and ZR1 got the stronger rear diffs.
