I joined MCA in November, and I can get an X-plan PIN. I doubt it's changed in the past 2 months. It's def worth it!

I wouldn't expect to get a 2013 GT500 at x-plan for awhile, if anyone finds a dealer who will honor it, I would be a buyer.

Please everyone, don't get your hopes up of the GT500 being on the X-Plan. I can already tell you that isn't going to happen!!! They put the 2012s on the program because there are still so many sitting on dealer lots. If they remain, it wouldn't surprise me if Ford puts "assistance cash" on them. They did this back in 2009 when there was a $3,000 dealer cash for the help of moving them.

And for the MCA, the price is not $50 a year. Still not bad.

Huh? So many? What? The 2012 was on x-plan from the beginning.

I bought my '12 GT500 on X-plan pricing fromo MCA. Well worth it! Wouldn't hold your breath on the 2013 at X-plan. I do not believe dealers have to honor it.

I have a feeling we won't see x-plan on the 2013 car because of how many people will probably be willing to pay MSRP and probably ADMs. The hype of the 2013 GT500 kinda reminds me off the first SVT GT500s that came out for the 2007 model year. I think the reason why people got x-plan on current 2012 cars is because they simply are not as rare as people thought they were going to be combined with a horrible economy and new competition just my .02

I hate to bust into the X-Plan conversation, but am sitting wondering what the Shelby 5.8L engine equates to in cubic inches?
I'm guessing around 350 cu. in.?
Cheers,

You are very close. 5.8 liters = 351 Cubes.

Kind of like 4.9 liters equaling a 302 in Fordspeak.

Cheers,
Per MM&FF its 355 CID. I don't have 5.0,s excellent article on the trinity engine to confirm that since it seems like an odd choice at 5.8 liters.
