2nd - 1.541
3rd - 1.000
4th - 0.720

Reverse - 2.400
Final Drive - 4.100 (Coupes had a 3.909 final drive, the vert needed a little bit of help due to the extra weight)

2nd - 2.002
3rd - 1.366
4th - 1.000

Only the '88 and '91 (and there is occassionally some disagreement on the '91) had the 3.9 no matter what tranny.

the 89-90 had the 4.1 no matter what tranny.

Haha, yea it does have an effect (Felix...you crack me up)...but it's still auto. If the gear ratio was changed it'd help, but not as much as converting to a manual.
