Newtonian gravitation predicts that
the PPN parameter gamma is zero,
while GR predicts it is 1.

Measurements show:

https://paulba.no/paper/PPN_gamma_Hipparcos.pdf
  gamma = 0.997 ± 0.003

https://paulba.no/paper/PPN_gamma_Cassini.pdf
  gamma - 1 = (-1.3 ± 5.2) x 10^-5

https://paulba.no/paper/Shapiro_2004.pdf
  gamma = 0.9998 ± 0.0004

https://paulba.no/paper/Fomalont.pdf
  gamma = 0.9998 ± 0.0003

https://paulba.no/paper/PPN_gamma_Cassini_2.pdf
  gamma - 1 = (-4.8 ± 5.7) x 10^-5

'nuff said!
