3.42
The codes on the door can also tell you, but I'm not sure where to look them up. A search should tell you about it. RPO codes I believe is what they are called.
But 6 speeds came with 3.42 stock.
If you want to check and see if your gears have been modified, get up to 89 mph in 6th gear. You should be at almost exactly 2000 RPM.

For reference, here's the RPO codes (found on the driver's door) for stock rear gears:
GU2 - 2.73
GU4 - 3.08
GU5 - 3.23
GU6 - 3.42
As mentioned, any LS1-powered F-Body with an M6 transmission came with 3.42s from the factory.
