I can’t imagine how you would get conflicting answers on that. You gotta tell us who/what is telling you there’s no base 997.1.
or are you asking whether the base 997.2 was only made for 2009-2012 which would be correct

I had a 2012 base 997.2
There are no base Carreras or Carrera S 997.2 for the 2012 model year. The only non-turbo 997.2 for 2012 was the GTS. If you see a 2012 Carrera S or base Carrera it is a 991. So:
997.2
2009-2011 Carrera, Carrera S, Carrera 4S
2011-2012 Carrera GTS, Carrera 4GTS, Carrera 4S
991.1
2012 Carrera or Carrera S

Well, I have a 2012 997 Carrera S, so it wasn't just turbos, GTSs and black editions. Here's my VIN: WP0AB2A96CS720371
AFAIK, almost all the 2012 997s were manufactured in 2011 before the production line was converted to 991 production.

i think some of the confusion is between production years vs model years. My 997.2 base was a regular car not a special edition. It was built 9/11 but was a 2012.
There are no base Carreras or Carrera S 997.2 for the 2012 model year except for the Black Edition. The only non-turbo 997.2 for 2012 was the GTS. If you see a 2012 Carrera S or base Carrera it is a 991. So:

2009-2011 Carrera, Carrera S, Carrera 4S
