Default Wide body rear wheel drive and 997.1 vs 997.2 questions

Is the GTS the only rear wheel drive wide body 911 (997 series or other)?

Also, I was having trouble finding a summary of 997.1 vs 997.2, can someone point me in the right direction. 2008 = last 997.1 and 2009 = first 997.2, correct?

Thanks.

997 GT3 RS and GT2 cars also. The 993 S was wide body/rear wheel drive too.

Carrera 4 and 4S models, too.

Oops! Disregard. I see you're asking about RWD only.

In the US, the 997.2 naturally aspirated cars were launched as 2009 models. The turbos made the switch as 2010 models. I think there's an official document floating around somewhere that outlines the changes for the 997.2 cars. PCNA usually has a press release that outlines the changes, and I'm sure you can find it.
