For this information you will need the build sheet, or the RPO sticker.
Build sheets are available from the museum, or the original may still be on top of your gas tank 9good luck getting it out in one piece)
The RPO sticker for your car should be somewhere if it has not been removed. Not sure where they put them on the 96.... try the glove box or the underside of the console lid.

what transmission? I think manual came with 3.07
Build Sheet is located behind the passenger side taillights on the 1996 underneath the gas tank strap. I managed to get mine removed earlier this winter and it was in very good shape. Although my car happens to have only 35,000 miles and always garage stored.
RPO codes next to jack box on 1996 !

I usually take a digital photo of my RPO (regular production option) Data Code Sticker that is normally located under the center console lid or in the glove box (photo below).
Then I down load the photo onto my desktop computer and make a photo copy of it. I then take a blank sheet of paper and decode each option by hand on the blank sheet of paper using the decoder links below (the examples in the photos below are of my 1999 Pontiac Bonneville SE).

There are several other RPO decoder links online if the ones above don`t have a particular code listed on your RPO Data Sticker.
This technique will work for all GM Cars & Trucks that have a RPO Data Code Sticker.
You can also take your VIN to any New GM Dealer and have them give you a print-out....but it is not as complete as decoding your own RPO Data Code Sticker with the method I described above (see examples in photos below)....I do both!
You can also contact the NCM (national corvette museum) and purchase laminated copies of your Build Sheet and Window Sales Sticker (the examples in photos below are of my 1992 Corvette Convertible).

They also offer full coverage auto insurance for Corvettes and Collector Cars too. My policy costs $135 a year as long as it is not a daily driver (link below).
By the way, Decoding is very, very time consuming....but is really rewarding in the end!!
IS YOURS A COUPE OR CONVERTIBLE? LOOK FOR THE BUILD CODES ( CONVERTIBLE IS ON THE STORAGE LID BEHIND THE PASS SEAT).... YOU SHOULD BE ABLE TO DECODE IT FROM THERE
Go to: http://Free-vin-decoder.com
put your vin # in there and it will give you all the information on your car including it’s birthday (no charge).
The National Corvette Museum will provide copies of the window sticker as well as its build sheet. There is a charge for this but if you want proper documentation they are the source.
Good luck and have fun!
Is your car an automatic or manual? If it's 4 speed auto you have gears on 2's. My 1987 has 3:08 and my tack reads 2000 at 70 miles an hour. I've heard the 6 speed models have a real high overdrive so I'm not sure on those.
