Look at your RPO codes. Your car will have GU2 or GU5.

GU2 -Axle, Rear 2.73 Ratio
GU4 -Axle, Rear 3.08 Ratio
GU5 -Axle, Rear 3.23 Ratio
GU6 -Axle, Rear 3.42 Ratio

A lower gear ratio will give you more punch off the line (so numerically higher is "better".

A higher gear ratio (numerically lower) will give you more top speed, if you're into that kind of thing.
