Lightbulb The best setup for a ls7?

Let me start off by saying this site rocks and theres no comparison, If I want info this is the place! Ive seen many great ls swaps and read quite a bit how you went through the process of the swap. So enough with the *** kissing, heres the deal, I finaly finished paying off my 04 monte carlo (My crusier and daily driver) and I want a good ls based hybrid for letting steam off. I got a whopper of change back from taxes so I bought a ls7 from my uncle ( he has 2) and I was wondering whats the better car to drive, less problems, and if I can still use the ac and power steering fairly easy with my swap. Here are my options for shells-92 240sx hatch, gen3 rx-7, or a 944 or 928 porsche. Its gonna be awile till I can buy one cause I just used the money on the engine, but I want to be prepared so ANY advise is much appreciated!

I'd definitely have to go with the RX-7, just for the aesthetic value. Plus, I hear they're pretty damn light.

rx7

people with rx7 are usually the proudest of their cars (as well as supra people) becuase lets face it, how many FD's do you ever see driven on the street?! i see more 2jz'd supra's than fd's on the road, pretty sad
