2020 Dodge Challenger: fifty years on

This record's own dek describes 2020 as the year of fifty years on: a 50th Anniversary Edition capped at 70 numbered cars per model per color, and the 807-hp SRT Super Stock drag car. This record's own overview states that Dodge built the 50th Anniversary Edition on four models, GT RWD, R/T Shaker, R/T Scat Pack Shaker and R/T Scat Pack Shaker Widebody, in seven high-impact colors including a new Gold Rush, limited to 70 numbered cars of each model in each color with "x of 70" badges, the package costing $4,995 to $5,995 depending on model, with orders opening in December 2019 and cars reaching dealers in spring 2020.¹

The SRT Super Stock, launched as a 2020 model in July 2020, used the Redeye's supercharged high-output 6.2 HEMI recalibrated to 807 hp and 707 lb-ft, with Widebody bodywork, 18x11-inch wheels on Nitto NT05R drag radials and a 3.09 limited-slip axle, per this record's own overview; at $79,595 before destination, Dodge said it was not limited in production and claimed 10.5 seconds at 131 mph. This record's own overview also states that no 2020 model-year production figure was found, with FCA's reported 52,955 calendar-year 2020 US Challenger sales reused as the best available substitute.^2,3,4

This record's own production section documents the 50th Anniversary Edition's 70-per-combination limit two ways, as four model rows and seven color rows that both partition the same 1,960-car announced total, with its own note warning explicitly that the two partitions must never be added together. It also documents built totals for two other special models from single MoparInsiders articles crediting Dodge: 410 R/T Scat Pack 1320 cars, 405 for the US and 5 for Canada, and 192 SRT Super Stock cars, 190 for the US and 2 for Canada, each broken down further by color.^5,6

Five engines are documented: the 3.6-liter Pentastar V-6 at 303 hp, the 5.7-liter HEMI V-8 at up to 375 hp, the 6.4-liter (392) HEMI V-8 at 485 hp, the supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V-8 at 717 hp on the standard Hellcat, and the supercharged high-output 6.2-liter HEMI carrying two separate ratings in this record, 797 hp on the Redeye and 807 hp with 707 lb-ft under the Super Stock's own calibration. Only one transmission is documented, the TorqueFlite 8HP90 eight-speed automatic on the Super Stock and Redeye, a narrower transmissions section than this record's options and engines sections might suggest.^7,2

This record documents an extensive options list: three tiers of 50th Anniversary Edition package pricing by model, a $3,000 Super Stock package over the Redeye bundling the 3.09 axle and Nitto drag radials, three 50th Anniversary Commemorative Edition option tiers explicitly not production-limited, and the 1320 Package's drag-mode equipment. This record's own specifications section carries only two entries, the Super Stock's 18x11-inch wheel and tire fitment and its 3.09 final drive, alongside a performance section with two manufacturer claims, a 10.5-second quarter mile at 131 mph and a 3.25-second 0-60 mph, both for the Super Stock.^8,3

This record's own identification section documents the 50th Anniversary Edition's numbered "x out of 70" badges and illuminated "50" headlamp logos, and its conflicts section is empty for the year. Its production notes state plainly that no built count for the 50th Anniversary cars was ever found in a Stellantis source, leaving the 1,960-car figure as an announced limit rather than a verified build, while the Super Stock and 1320 built counts rest on single MoparInsiders articles whose colour and market rows each sum to the totals given.¹
