997 GT3 Rear Width - the same as?

Can anyone tell me if the rear width of the regular 997 GT3 (not the RS) will be the same as the:

1. 997 Carrera S
2. 997 Carrera 4S
3 997 Carrera 4

Thanks.

My understanding on rear body width is: GT3 = 997 S, GT3 RS = 997 4/4S.

The "S" are all wide body, same as TT same as RS.

The GT3 and carrera are the 4's and standard Carrera.

The GT3 is a narrow body 997

on the C4 chassis (more ridgid)

As was the case for the 996 GT3

But the 997GT3 is a narrow body and the 997C4 is a wide body. Something isn't making sense.

Narrow Body: 997C2 997C2S 997GT3
Wide Body: 997C4 997C4S 997GT3RS 997TT
