Default 1968 Dodge Charger

1968 Dodge Charger,

The 'base performance' Charger, with a 383/330 HP engine.

Charger 383/330 HP production numbers were '19,012' (18,754 - Automatics) and 'only' (258 4-Speeds)

Coming in at #3653 lbs., and with an 11.07 Wt/Hp factor.

Actually a fairly good Weight/Horsepower factor for the track, as the 1968 Charger 383/330 HP was classed in G/S or G/SA.

Coming out of the 'showroom' with 3.23 Sure-Grip Gears, performance was respectable.

* 4-Speed.............15.30 @ 90.2 MPH
* Automatic...........15.46 @ 89.1 MPH

The 'only' Gears available from the factory for the Charger 383 was either the 'Standard' 3.23 - or the 'Optional' 3.55's.

With 3.55's, you could get the Charger 383 into the 14.95 range.
