The majority (like 90%) of the PP2 performance advantage is the Sport Cup 2 tires. I'd call the PP2 more of a wheel and tire package, and not really a unique car. Lets see which fanboys get triggered by that.
The magnaride tuning might be pretty small tweaks. IIRC the minor ride height difference of the PP2 is 100% from the short diameter 305/30 tires versus the taller tires on the PP1. I don't actually think the springs are any lower.
All magnaride cars have the same counter-wound springs. I don't actually know the knuckle differences between shelbys and GT magnaride cars.
PP1 (w/ magnaride) to PP2 suspensions are in the same general ballpark. I don't think we actually know if the PP2 spring rates are more like PP1, GT350, or more like GT350R, but you can cheaply install those springs or replicate them in the aftermarket. If you have a non-magnaride car, its harder to straddle performance and comfort, but I believe most people with good quality shocks and 'min drop handling springs' from Steeda or BMR are pretty happy with the ride comfort.
Interesting. I have a line on a minty 6k miles 2019 PP1 6sp w Magneride and AE. Odd that original owner did not opt for PP2, as the incremental cost was a just a few hundred $. Still, I believe I prefer the PP2 as OE, rather than trying to build it, after running the numbers and learning from others here.The majority (like 90%) of the PP2 performance advantage is the Sport Cup 2 tires.
