doesnt have to be a WS6 to have 3.23's, thats a common misconception. It was a option on all f-bodys to have 3.23's but it was required for WS6's to have them.

you looked in the right spot. and thats actually very good. the higher the number the better the acceleration out of the hole. 2.73<3.23<3.42<3.73<4.10 you get the point. for an auto the highest I would go is 3.73's if you ever change them. I went with 4.10's but thats because I have a 6 speed. They make a huge difference with your track time.
