GT3 and GT3RS

[Redarress]

I should know this but which 996 and 997 GT3 and GT3RS are 2 Wheel drive

I am thinking they are 4 Wheel drive am I correct
Thanks

[LordHaveMurci]

No you aren't!

They are all rear wheel drive only.

The 997GT3 has the narrow body.
The 997GT3RS has the wider 4WD body - but is still only 2WD.

The only 4 wheel drive 911's are the turbo ones and the carrera 4 and carrera 4s....... when I say 'turbo ones' I don't mean the GT2's as they are rear wheel drive only

Thanks... didn't know this. Is that both Gen 1 and 2 997 GT3 with narrow body?

Yup! C4 shell as it's stronger / torisionally stiffer - but "narrow body" track! (Although the 997.1 GT3 comes as standard with 5mm rear spacers).

Interesting I didn't know the 997 gt3 was narrower than the RS. By much?

1808mm for GT3 & 1852mm for GT3 RS (excluding mirrors)

[MadMark911]

It doesn't sound much - but it does look significantly wider!

& rear tyres 20mm wider (325instead of 320)

Typo 325 & 305

[C2'S'man]

The 997 gen1 RS was fitted with 305's on the rear the same as the cooking GT3, the gen2RS was fitted with the 325's

[911god]

Is the rear any wider though?

[David Hype]

The 996 GT3 Mk1, 996 Mk2 and GT3RS are rear wheel drive and all three are narrow bodied...

....all rear wheel drive. The RS is the C4 'wide' body.
