GIGANTORE Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Was wondering if there is a specific digit or place in the VIN that would indicate the power pack option. I would imagine there is. Would be nice to know a specific area to look. Especially since a lot of dealers have no idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brucelinc Posted September 25, 2017 Report Share Posted September 25, 2017 Cars with PP have the 3.16 axle ratio. If it has PP you should see the 2 in the axle code section when you look at the label inside the door jam. Axle Ratio Code • 1 - 2.77 ratio (Sedan) • 2 - 3.16 ratio (Sedan) • Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GIGANTORE Posted September 26, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2017 Ok. I haven't seen the label in the door. It isn't in any of the pictures. But here's the VIN: 1FAHP2KTXEG184868 I did a vin search and found one previous listing that says the gear ratio is 2.77. But the dealer said he saw a trans cooler in the lower grill. And it kinda looks like this one has the alcantara steering wheel. https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/inventorylisting/viewDetailsFilterViewInventoryListing.action?inventorySearchWidgetType=MY_LISTINGS#listing=182225241 EDIT: Just talked to the guy at Carmax. Asked him for a picture of the sticker inside the drivers door. And a pic of the trans cooler in the front lower grill. I'm already committed to the purchase. Just want to know what I'm buying.

LostnEye Posted September 27, 2017 Report Share Posted September 27, 2017 The easiest visual is the alcantara on the steering wheel. GIGANTORE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjhpadi Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 And if it the performance package car, it will NOT have a spare tire but an electric tire pump. GIGANTORE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
