I knew all "S cars" were the high performance package cars with the engine/brake/suspension upgrade, but thought all "S" cars were wide bodies as well. Thanks NorthVan for clearing that up for me.
I believe its the 4 (all wheel drive) aspect that makes them wide-body cars.
LOL, tell that to the guys driving the GT3RS's and GT2's
Those need not apply. I am referring to narrow twisty canyon roads with narrow bridges and stuff. I am told by people who routinely carve those with both chassis that the wide bodies are tougher to thread through.

I think it is the C2 vs C4 not a NB vs WB...just my opinion though (and I am sure yours as well)

Does anyone know the width of a 997 narrow body compared to a 996 widebody? It seems that the narrow body 997 is definitely waayy wider than a 996 narrow, is it the same as the 996 widebody?

That makes total sense since the all wheel drive platform for the turbo is a wide body and all wheel drive. It's tough for any car company to make any money off of building only one platform, so to do so they must build more than one car built on the same platform.
