As an aside, if you do end up buying a 986, it should probably get a new thread. 
Also, I forgot to mention that Paul's opinion is that the car's uncompetitive even with the wider wheels. He pointed out that 2018 was the year of massive rain, and he had real rain tires (PS4S) in a mid-engined car.

That said, I'm not discounting his opinion that the Boxster S is uncompetitive even with 8s & 10s.
Dixie Winter this past weekend was another case of taking a knife to a gun fight in CS (S2000 vs ND2). I enjoyed the challenge but being the fastest S2000 and 3rd place overall only goes so far. I discount day 1 because of unfamiliarity with the car, plus trying left foot braking and plus a course that favored the ND2 (the S2000s spent too much time on the limiter at 60mph while the ND2s forged ahead.) Day 2 the course was fairer, I used right foot braking and drove about as good as I'm capable of but still way off Rick Cone's pace. I'm not sure I want to assume the plucky underdog role again.
Man, the S2000 is a really fun autocross car! Especially when it's on properly-valved Penske shocks.
