Is the 2020 Dodge Challenger GT 50th Anniv Edition muscle car WORTHY?

It's the 50th Anniversary of the Challenger and Dodge is celebrating in a big way with a SPECIAL EDITION across all trims. This Gold Rush Challenger GT has a 3.6L V6 that is producing 305HP & mated to a ZF 8-speed automatic transmission. On the outside you will find a special color, black satin hood/roof/truck, 20in wheels and 50th Anniversary badging. On the inside you will dine the premium interior with Alcantara, special stitching and even more reminders you have a very special Challenger. Is the 2020 Dodge Challenger GT 50th Anniversary muscle car WORTHY?

I am a 71 year old Vietnam veteran. I bought the Challenger GT to cruise in, NOT to drag race. I have owned a new 08 black SRT and a new 09 Pearl Blue SRT. I am happy with my Challenger GT FROSTBITE 50th Anniversary edition number 37 of 70 built. 99% of the people on the road have no clue that my car has 305 horsepower, people think it has more horsepower. The car still gets thumbs up with plenty of compliments. Thank you for the review.

Nice review, Joe. This might be my favorite looking Challenger yet. Also, for everyone complaining that it’s only a V6, just don’t buy it. Sheesh. It’s not like you don’t have plenty of choices for crazy horsepower in the other Challenger models. Not everyone wants or needs a V8.

[@davidhypes5228]

Hi Joe. I happen to LOVE your Challenger videos! I own a 50th Anniversary RT so thought I would share a couple cool things about them. First, the Air catcher headlights have a “50” inside them when they are lit up. I agree the wheels look silver most of the time, but they are actually “gold school” color, along with all the badges, and you can see the gold hue when the light hits them just right. Also, that is real carbon fiber on the dash and center console. It has copper wire weaved in it to give it that copper look. And every 50th Anniversary edition does come with an SRT track experience at the Bondurant Driving School in Arizona, if you can get there! Just thought you and your viewers might find these interesting. Keep up the great work! Thanks!

[@RaitisRides]

Thanks for that great info based off of your ownership David!

It looks beautiful and I will take this over the hellcat or scat pack because the gt is awd and it’s useful for snow and bad weather conditions but the scat pack and hellcat are only rwd and it’s bad at snow, also the gt has a smooth power delivery because it’s a naturally aspirated v6 engine rather than the hellcat with a jerky power delivery.

Never seen a gold Challenger before. The one you're talking about in the video is beautiful. The GT's are still pretty quick even though it's only a v-6. Wish they offered the more aggressive exhaust sytems for the GT's. According to a Didge mechanix I spoke with tge GT's have stiff rear gears. I believe he said 3.90's. That's probably why my Challenger only gets 14 mog in the city.
