Here's the equation. Gear Ratio Tire Radius RPM 168 MPH Regards, Bob ----- Original Message ----- From: "travis battreal" Subject: Corvette-List: gear ratio > --> Corvette-List message posted by: travis battreal > > No, I haven`t changed the gears in it, but it`s been > on my mind for years.

It tells me I have a 4.42:1 ratio. I`ll have to get the tape measure out to check the tire diameter for sure and the speedo is suspect but it confirms a low rear end. I was pretty certain it would be a 4 number. There`s probably a stamp or code somewhere that says, but the formula is neat to know. --- Bob Di Meo wrote: > --> Corvette-List message posted by: "Bob Di Meo" > > > OOps, that didn't get through.
