It was an Ecoboost Premium rental that I got on a lark while my WRX was in the body shop that made me go "Woah, this is NICE!" I bought a GT PP that same weekend. Then the stars aligned this spring and I traded up to a GT350.
Fukushima was also hit by a once-in-a-thousand-years event, a wall of water larger than anyone had ever expected, that spilled over a TEN METER HIGH seawall.
VIR, or state highway 18 from WV down through Hungry Mother State Park (windy enough that you CAN'T go very fast!) and into North Carolina. Lots of good roads around the BRP, and NC doesn't have quite the stupidity around speed limits that VA has.
Or head up into West-by-God Virginia!
As I posted in another thread, I follow the "don't be a dick" rule: keep it in normal mode in residential areas before 8AM or after 8PM. The cops congregate where people are complaining, so don't give them extra reasons to complain.
Plus, you know, don't be a dick: People have to sleep...
I drive mine whenever the weather is nice, including to work and back. We get some hellacious hail around here when the t-storms come, and I'm not going to risk it.
The only thing missing is a twisty road between home and work!
As described in the stoptech link posted earlier in the thread, it's unlikely that it's warped rotors; however, it could be pad deposits baked on to the rotor. You get those if you make a hard stop and leave your foot on the brake, clamping the pads to the hot rotor. The way to easily avoid...
Cars are not investments. If you buy one, expecting it to become more valuable, you are speculating, not investing. If you're lucky, and not many examples of a particular desirable model survive in the future, then yours will become more valuable. If you're unlucky, and many survive, yours...
They won't be. Ford made more GTs in 2015 alone than they will make of S550 Shelbys for the entire five-year production run, if this is correct:

I also had a 2017 GT PP, Lightning Blue Metallic, with the Premium interior package. It was the nicest car I'd ever had to that point, and the power and handling put the WRX I came from to shame.
I traded that in on my 2018 Ruby Red w/black stripe GT350 w/convenience package. The GT350...
It would be interesting to see if a particular builder or pair of builders had a higher failure rate than others.
I don't doubt for one second that Ford knows the answer to that. This is, after all, their flagship Mustang.
Re: change intervals
There was a thread on BobIsTheOilGuy regarding oil analysis, wear metals, and change intervals. One of the non-intuitive findings was that, to a point, extending the wear interval resulted in *reduced* wear metals over time (particularly iron, IIRC).
