Two more words that would come to haunt Billy in later years of competition: Cruze and Infiniti.

Forget the Dodge Viper or even the Bugatti Veyron, GM claims the Camaro Z28 boasts the widest front tires of any production automobile. And it has been said that it can beat both a Nissan GT-R and a Porsche 911 Turbo S when the road gets twisty.
When the GT-R debuted and Nissan started bragging about their Nurburgring times, Porsche was quick to dispute the claims.
Today, Nissan is still spending time and money at the ring, though I have to wonder if Porsche even cares much at this point. Last year Porsche sold 10,442 911s in the US, while Nissan sold a mere 1237 GT-Rs.
To be fair, there are quite a few 911 variants, and the Porsche 911 has been around much longer than the Nissan GT-R. On the other hand, maybe Nissan needs something more relevant than lap times at a track most customers will never even visit.
