there is commonly three final gear ratios that are in the bonneville i believe one of the big guys here did a technical post on it but the common one i know of spanning the 92-99 generation of bonnies are: 2.83, 3.05??? (not 100% positive on that one) and 2.93 standard on all supercharged bonnes

easest way to tell on a naturally aspirated car is go head to head with a SSEi (stock vs. stock) if you take the SSEi off the line then he smokes you after you gain a car then you probably have the 3.62 gears i know my stock SSEi get taken off the line by SE SLE and SSE(N/A) before they are out of the intersection though im half way up the side of them and climbing

this url links to specs on the 2000'* but they should be really similar in older models
