The EXT obviously consumes fuel like Ogre does beer at a frat keg standing party, but it has considerably more comfort space and versatility (ie - sleeping room, side beverage cooler, storage space, bench, etc). However, the GT is a 6MT with enough tire smokin power to run with the best of them and has just as much bling appeal with a healthier appetite for consumption. It also doesn't mind a nice doughnut or two on the side. I would assume it has more exclusivity on its side as well.
Both are Chick Magnets... not sure about in FL, but along the way.. oh yeah... like in VA Beach, & Atlanta..... OH yeah... Honey's will be flocking... If you have the cash for Gas.. nope.. take the Skyline... Prices are not going down anytime soon.. Do you really think you will need the sleep space in the truck for double the price in gas?? Reclined front seat works wonders...
Just my opinion

Perhaps uniqueness would have been more appropriate. My intent was to suggest that the GT is a less commonly seen vehicle. And for which one would you vote Alicia?

its not from japan, its not a skyline, get over yourself.
I don't understand your cander, but if the car is not from Japan, perhaps then you know of a Nissan factory here in the US that manufactures this car? Not a Skyline, see for yourself on the Nissan website.
More pictures of the above vehicle are available here.
I don't want to ignore the obvious and not acknowledge that the car is renamed under the "Infiniti" moniker here in the US, but don't fool yourself into thinking that it is any different than the one sold in Japan. Other than opposite driver positioning, there is no difference. I've just recently lived and visited in Japan and can tell you this from first hand experience. It is so with the Nissan Fairlady Z, Toyota Altezza and other like vehicles. Although some are drastically different than their Japanese brethren, this is not the case with the Skyline 350GT (not to be mistaken with the GTR). I hope this clears up any misunderstanding.
It's my showcar project. A car that I've had since 2001 that I've been toying around with. A lot of people wonder why I don't use the other car for show but the Stratus is so unique and has been so heavily modified that most people at the shows don't even know what it is. You can check it out at www.versitileproductions.com. I plan on having it at Modified Madness this May, the same "Carlisle" event that we met at last year in Harrisburg.
Escahoe, haven't heard that one yet, I'll have to steal that for my own use

Is that puppy all show and no go? If so, I guess it's a good way to blow thousands of dollars for you.

dude, where in japan did you live? i spent most of the summer in shinjuku and then a few weeks in nango (3 hours north of tokyo)
Just south of Yokohama, Kanto Plain. We were on opposite sides of Tokyo. I'm not sure where exactly Nango is but I know the areas north of Tokyo are more rural in scenery and it was probably pretty nice up there. Did you ever get a chance to climb Mt. Fuji? Legend says if you don't climb it then you will most certainly return to the Island until you do.
And as for the Stratus, the 267 was the second pull we did after some minor tuning. The turbo is good for up to 500hp but the motor is still stock for internals so it's not ready for increased boost. Boost pressure is right under 5 psi so it's no where near what it's capable of. 267 at that low of psi is quite impressive for this setup, and with some more engine work it will put down some bigger numbers. It has never seen the track, just some side street action. I imagine the speed would be relatively slow since the car is heavy with dynamat & ICE. As I said, it's mearly a hobby and set up for show, not meant to be a street machine. I'm sure at some point I will invest in the Silver Bullet to be more of a tire shredder in the future, but for now I just use it as a reliable daily driver.
ill def "return to the island" but not to climb fuji...my dad is all about climbing, fuji, everest, Appalachian trails, mckingley, that big one in washington...he did fuji when he was younger- but i didnt get past the first summit. its not really my bag-been dragged around alot by dad, very beautiful though. my cousin was in the "jet" program where you teach english to japanese kids, he was in training in tokyo for awhile and has been stationed in nango for 3 years now. ive gone to visit many a time, i fucking love it. this summer i stayed in shinjuku and shabooya for the festivals, year of the...rat-dragon...who knows, but it was intense.
