I don't think a single matchup answers any questions...different day, different track, different drivers the roles might be reversed.

true as much as a hate to admit we all want to see a 69 hemi charger show the chebby the fastest way home
we all know LS6 Chevelle is a serious  bit of hardware too 

if there was no such thing as Mopar, i would have a 70 LS6 Chevelle with a M22 sitting in the garage now , & prolly a 70 bullnose firebird 455HO too

a 69 ZL-1 Corvette or Camaro would be my first Chevy Choice. LEON.

GM stinks! I broke everything except a 64 Nova wagon. (14 of them!)

If you were in Reno for the Hot August Nights festival, you would have seen a LOT of them. It felt like the Chevelle Nationals there today. I counted something like 15-20 at one casino parking lot alone.

i kind of forgot about the 69 ZL1 Camero    yes take one over a LS6 or a 70 455HO anyday,  was imagining  though finding a ZL1 camero in the same condition as my charger for sencible money though  too old now to do a total nut & bolt resto on one, that a big if i can find one lifes too short rather be fishing instead of getting burnt by random  mig splatters & covered in filler dust &  hours of blocking high build primer       was reading a good story on line a while ago all about Fred Gibb the ZL1s  the copo & yenkos etc a couple more of the aluminum 427s have come to light & have been reunited with the cars loads of history on those cars to read up on

as a kid liked them but never tried to find out all there is/ was to know about them,  then! scrutinise them inside out , like did with the chargers & to a lesster extent all mopars    as a kid i would  live eat sleep drink( as the saying goes ) 69 chargers well any thing second  generation charger    i was ! am nutts i know     i use to think ss454 LS6 chevelles were really rare cars, now there seems to be thousands i know its not the case just seems it     
when you see them on this web site more being found all the time , makes you think maybe there are thousands

shame there was not a youtube channel like this about the second generation charger

all this Chebby talk  & as awesome as these ZL1s LS6 yenkos copos are ....  nothing comes close to a second generation charger especially a yellow with black top & interior 69

Since were talking Chevys....   Next to my bird is a 62 Chevy Impala conv. SS 409 car.   Just like the song of the same name, 4 speed, dual quad, posi-traction. There are others back there too.  They all get along just fine!!!!

I was a Chevy guy for years but around the mid 90s, I swung back toward Mopars.
I like car shows but even at Mopar shows, seeing row after row of Challengers, Barracudas, Road Runners, Darts and Chargers starts to wear a bit on me.
The shows that have ALL makes and models do have variety but along with that, you get a 10 to 1 ratio of Chevy to everything else.
I don't want to see too much of any one make.
I like Chevelles but to see 20 of them and only one Charger? No thanks.

I have a version of both of these cars tucked away from back in the day. My 70 Chevelle SS is the classic red black combo but alas its the L34 350 hp 396 version not the LS6. The 69 Hemi Charger is a real Hemi car though. So I am kind of on both sides of the fence here. Both were top of the heap back then and I think also either could win on any given day. Would depend on which was tuned the best as little improvements to either of these engines could make all the difference.

I thought it was rather pleasing to see the Charger pulling away so adroitly from this much-heralded top-of-the-line Chevy offering.  If you guys say that his could have gone either way...allright, but it certainly didn't this time.

In my early years I spent a lot of time on drag strips. The winner of a matchup between two competing cars of equal power/weight ratio depends on many factors. Even two identical cars can perform very differently with a simple gear change or different tire.
