I also think if you have an auto and your speedo only goes to 110 then you have 2.73's if it goes to 150 you have 3.23's. If you have a 6spd you have 3.42s. All this is if someone hasn't tinkered with your car ahead of time.

110 is for V6 cars, all v8s have a 150 speedo. Teke is correct but I have heard of some manuals coming with 3.23 gearing as well.

No you can get V8s with 110 speedo's and speed limiters installed. It was dependent on wether or not your car was ordered with Z rated tires. You are correct about manuals having 3.23's. I believe 93 6spds could be ordered with 2.73's or 3.23's. All later years are 3.42's

Your car should have the 3.42's

And yes.. a V8 car could be had with the 110 speedo, my '94 Formula had one.

I knew the not Z rated tire cars were limited to 110 but never knew the speedo went to 110, that sucks
