When you say little gain - are you saying the difference in handling btwn PP1 & 2 is not worth pursuing? Or there is a less expensive was to achieve parity?
The main difference, performance wise between pp1 and 2 is the wheels/tires combination
Both basically. If your not buying a pp2 car you'd be better off building the car you have to suit your needs. What are you trying to achieve? A great handling car for the track? A fun street car? The aftermarket world for these cars is vast and instead of throwing parts at it, you could build a better handling ride that fits your goals. You have to tell us what your trying to accomplish if you want any good feedback.
Faster simpler easier to just sell PP1 and buy pp2. You can’t buy the magna ride upgrade so you will not have all of the benefits if you try and convert.
That I don't know. Mine came standard.

Goal: Build a car that is track-able up to 6x a year (HPDE, etc) but can also make a 6 hour drive to/from for a weekend in reasonable comfort.
That helps. The reason I wouldn't build a pp2 clone based off what you've said so far is in my opinion the biggest advantages in the pp2 are going to be the wheel/tire set up and magnaride. At high speed the spoiler and maybe the front lip as well. (Can't recall any factual data on the front lip off hand) There's plenty of wheel tire options to get you where you want to be. If the pp2 style is what you choose that's a fine option. Not having magnaride, I'd be looking for a good suspension set up that handles track duty and isn't brutal on the streets. And if your using it more on the track and not worried about its street manners getting there maybe you go more aggressive? That's your choice. I'm just trying to point out since you aren't starting with a pp2 you will probably be better off researching how to get to your goals with what you have in lieu of trying to half way clone a pp2. A pp2 is a great starting point but there's still room for improvement.
You should buy your car and then ask this question again. These questions can't be answered until you know precisely what you're starting with.
Thank you!
Just buy the ruby Pp2 in Colorado for 35ish. Without magneride, you're just wasting time. And for the love of God don't buy Ford wheels. Get aftermarket lookalike for half or lower, and lighter.
Thank you! It sounds from these like the PP2 is too far a bridge from a PP1.
I'm not saying you're doing this for misrepresentation, I didn't know if you wanted to stay authentic to Ford or just improve your overall ride.
