check your options codes and they will tell u what the car came with from the factory. they should be in the glove box, the center console or the door. they are three character codes with letters and numbers.
otherwise u can jack the back of the car up and block or jackstand it and block the front wheels so the car wont go anywhere. put the car in neutral and spin the wheels one revolution (make sure both back wheels are turning and going the same direction) at the same time count the number of times the driveshaft turns. if the drive shaft turns 3 and 1/4 turns u have a 323 if it turns almost 3 and 1/2 times its a 342.

heres the options codes for the 4th gen cars rearend gears.
GU1 : AXLE REAR, 2.41 RATIO
GU2 : AXLE REAR, 2.73 RATIO
GU4 : AXLE REAR, 3.08 RATIO
GU5 : AXLE REAR, 3.23 RATIO
GU6 : AXLE REAR, 3.42 RATIO

and if u want to know what other options came on your car from the factory check here.

I want to put in a higher gear like 373 just to give a bit more zip from stoplight to stoplight
