Stock gears in 02 SS? Does anyone know what all gears came stock in the 02 SS's? And how can I tell by looking at pictures of the service parts stickers. I think the code on this particular car is GU5, but this car has SLP options also so I don't know if it was altered at SLP. I think the car has 3:23 gears. It is an automatic if that has anything to do with it. Any help you could give would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The higher the gear ratio, the quicker the car will accelerate, but then the more gas it will eat on the street.

I'd go with the 3.73 if you change them at all - still streetable, but enough difference to notice.
