Well for all of those purchasing, I know a huge chunk of this threads posters will eventually sell. This may be an invalid sale to register in your mind, but for reference sake- why not?
Magnetic Metallic Base 2016 GT PP
Bought new: 31.5k OTD
Sold 4500 mi & 8 months later: 29k

I wouldn't be too worried about it. You're talking about a car they've made tons of and even then it's replaceable. Your life isn't so you should feel blessed in that regard.
I wouldn't run out to purchase anything you don't feel is "you". I would buy a beater for a couple grand and then wait...
For future purposes, I just sold my 4600 mi lightly modded Base PP GT for 29k. It sold within 18 hours and had 3 buyers lined up if the first did not come thru. It clearly could of sold for more. But nevertheless, there is still some value in these cars.
Hm. I've never seen a recall done in a take your parts home kind of way. I believe safety items are more stringent on this as technically Ford is responsible if they make a crap design and the doors fall off the car. I'd be surprised if they would let you DIY. But it's always worth a try.

Entertaining selling my car. I bought it brand new last year and have kept it stored in a garage. It's tastefully modded, low miles (4,612) and is not a daily driver. It's had minor paint correction (clay bar, polish, sealant, wax) done on it within the first two weeks of owning it. I...
I have to concur. It's like comparing your IAT2's to ambient temp on the dash. "Well it says its 80 degrees outside, so theoretically I should be like you know.. 90 degrees on my IAT's".
If you don't have a sensor plumbed in to post-charged manifold, your values will be greatly off.
Depends on what labor rate you're paying. And that is dictated alone by the type of shop your getting a quote from.
Dealerships will always be high- unless they scale back total labor hours.
Performance shops like Hypermotive/Beefcake/Livernois/Lethal will be cheaper and generally have...
Once upon a time, in order to sell any SVT related you had to have a certified Tech that specifically went to their training courses. And even then, only they could do the work on the cars.
Your average trained Ford Tech's are actually pretty good at their job. The problem is when specialty...
Heat soak is inevitable with boosted cars. Despite it all, even turbo/centri cars experience heat soak. I truly believe you should be more considerate of your goals/power/torque curves than anything. Boosted cars are inherently always fighting heat. However, there are plenty of ways to fight it...
Springs. Absolutely. Call up Steeda or BMR. Can't go wrong with either. Despite my previous love affair, Eibach is not as great on these cars as either of the two above. I love my ultralites and have heard nothing but great things about BMR's offerings. Definitely go Linear
While a fan of cam lope.. cam lope and power are not exclusive to one another. The tighter the LSA (lobe separation angle), the larger the "lope" noise generally speaking. But also with that tight LSA, you also receive crap drive ability and mileage.
Given that Coyote's can adjust cam timing...
