3.27 for everything but the manual SS which will be 3.45 in the rear end. If you go to chevy.com/camaro there's a specifications PDF if you want to see each of the ratios for the transmissions.

Axle ratio

I ordered an SS today with an auto trans and the paperwork lists the axle ratio as 3.45, so I'm assuming that all the SS's have the same ratio.

Correct!
My fault, I was looking at standard equipment on my paperwork. In the options section under the auto trans it lists the ratio as 3:27.

Sorry guys.

Question

Does anyone make different ratios for this rear end. From what I remember reading the 3.45 and tall tires provide for 54mph in first gear, I would guess that a change in gear ratio would give a dramatic increase 0-60 and 1/4 ets.
????
