Are all 996 Turbos AWD?

I am sorry if this is a Nb question... I cuurently have a 2004 Wrx sti with aprox 340 whp and I love the AWD. I just sold my comp and made some extra cash and have a freind with a 2001 X50 package 996 T black on black mint condition.. I have been browsing this site for some time now and just wanted to clairfy a few things.. This will be my daily driver and we get alot of snow here . I also love AWD. I know this particular model he has is AWD but if the deal doesn't go through just want to know if all 996's are AWD... Btw- We did a few runs and we were neck and neck...lol. But the 996 just looks sooooo much hotter when driving..
Thanks and looking forward to being a active member.
He is selling his 996 and getting the Carrera S.

I think the GT2 is more of a weekend car rather than everyday car+ I don't think it has traction control (which would really suck in the snow)

All Turbos are AWD, The GT2 is a RWD Turbo, the C4 is an all wheel drive narrow body no Turbo and the C4S is an all wheel drive widebody no Turbo.
