Here is a report from a magazine in 1969 that compares six cars. Interesting info. GTX, and Charger R/T are one and two.

Would have liked to see a 340 Dart in there. Maybe a Hemi car and LS6 Shuvelle for comparison.

GTX had 4:10 gears. They should compare apples to apples.

You can look at the numbers for the charger instead. Put those gears in the gtx and the numbers would be nearly identical.

Gas mileage looks about right.

Right. And maybe the charger weighs a tad more because of the extra trim too

Love the old school comparisons… facts and details only!

What was the $169.00 difference in price(big dollars option in ‘69) with the GTX’s Super Performance axel package , compared to the Charger R/T’s Performance axel package?
