Jack the car up in the air and count the turns of the driveshaft when you turn the rear wheels one revolution.

Right at 3 turns and you are stock. 2.73 or 3.08s (maybe 3.27s - I think someone said they had those too)

If you are more like 4 turns, then 3.73s or 4.10s. :D
 
sleep, that is true. however, how many stangs are running around with gears in them, but still having the oem tags and markings. :)

Paul is right. if one is careful, they can get pretty close (i.e. decipher 2.73's from 3.08, etc).

3.27's came in automatics (foxes).
