I'm embarrassed to ask but what does the R/T stand for?

Quote from: 694spdRT on January 18, 2006, 09:28:03 PMI do wonder why Plymouth did not have a designation for their top "muscle" cars.   

They did.  They were called GTX for the B bodies, 'Cuda for the E bodies, and Formula S for the pre-70 A bodies.

I was referring more to how Dodge handled it by using existing names. For example, Coronet to Coronet R/T, Charger to Charger R/T, and Challenger to Challenger R/T.

Plymouth just handled it in their own way by actually renaming performance models like the Roadrunner, GTX, and 'Cuda instead of following Dodge. Back in the early years they were similar with the Belvedere GTX but, by '68 it was badged as a GTX.

Hey, by the way what does SRT from the new Charger means? Sedan Road & Track ? ;D


Street and Racing Technology.

GT is Gran Turismo
GTO is Gran Turismo Omligota, or however the hell you spell that.
GTX is just GTX, from what I understand.
SE is both Standard Edition, and Special Edition.
GTP is also just GTP.

I asked a Pontiac friend, he said that GTP doesn't really stand for anything.
