GU2 = 2.73 (std on A4)
GU5 = 3.23 (opt on A4)
GU6 = 3.42 (std on M6)

I'm not aware of any other rears offered on 4th gen V8 f-bods.
The 93 was not available with 3.42. It was only 2.73 and 3.23... And two different M6 trannys.. M28 and M29.. M29 being the more desirable with gear ratios similar to a 2003 zo6. Thats what i gathered from speeddensity.org The M28 came with 2.73 and the M29 came with 3.23. The A4 was available with either.

Im looking for a number of how many 93 Formula M6 HT Yellow with black leather. I know its rare but cant find much info on color breakdowns for 93s..

Interesting, I learn something new every day. Thanks. The 6th gear on the M28 (w/ the 2.73) must have been quite different that the MN6 otherwise that'd be a heck of a tall overdrive gear.

Cool thanks. I imagine the majority are black or red. It does explain why I had a hard time finding a 6 speed 01/02 Formula though

I can't determine your original color from the VIN (although a GM dealership could using their database, it's not actually part of the VIN). I'd need your color code from the RPO sticker on the driver's-side door frame. If you don't know which is the color code, just post everything that it says on the sticker.
nope its is a factory paint color i have the same color on mine

Unlike common myth, the majority of these cars were dealer ordered and purchased off the lot. If people didnt know that they came with the tan interior its because they never saw it because it just wasnt ordered.

Total '01 Formulas: 1037 (which includes 70 Firehawk Formulas)

The following breakdowns are probably slightly low since my source (CompNine) only has 1001 of those 1037 '01 Formulas in their database (although the Firehawk numbers have been collaborated):

'01 Formula HTs: 176 (which includes 26 Firehawks)
'01 Formula Black: 377 (including 30 Firehawks)
'01 Formula A4: 700 (including 16 Firehawks)

CompNine's been down for a few weeks, so I can't determine the combination of your options.
