No, not all 997 "S" cars are widebodies.

Only:
997 C4
997 C4S
997 C4 Cab
997 C4S Cab
997 Targa
997 GT3RS

Am I missing any other?

So a 997 C2S is a narrow body?

Yes, but only by about 1.5 inches

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.

..and don't forget the not-available-for-North-America 2010 Porsche 911 Sport Classic, while this model is based on the rear-wheel-drive Carrera S, it features the wider rear body of the Carrera 4S.

NorthVan, thanks. Yeah, I missed a few

Dont forget that compared to 996, the "narrow" 997 is wide with flared rear fenders.

The standard 996 is really slabsided, no coke bottle shape.

I fit 12" wheels under the rear bodywork of my 997S.

997S is a C2S and is NB. You can fit 12" wide wheels on a NB 997

Wow!!! I've had 12's under my 996TT, but now have 11.5 HRE 542R's. They are a more aggressive offset and I think the car rides and drives better, but I also have an adjustable GT3 rear sway bar to take out most of the push as well. I never would have thought about 12's under a NB 997. Thanks NorthVan!

Narrow bodies are better for fast, tight, twisty mountain roads.
