YA!! Minivans!! I've yet to associate AE86's as sleepers because they really aren't all that fast in a straightline... Even with the 4agze motor shoehorned in.

I think that any of the FWD Turbo Dodges and Chryslers were some of the best sleepers, except the Daytona.

How about a 1995 Buick Roadmaster Limited Edition?? Runs the 1/4 mile in 15 sec. flat stock since it's powered by a massive 5.7L V8....

Kinda makes you think twice about that 4-door buick sedan next to you at a stoplight, huh?

But it's a Buick! Any stock Buick that's remotely quick qualifies as a sleeper in my book....

Yea, yea, I know. The Grand National is hardly a sleeper, tho.

you'd be better off buying the Sti Spec C it has all the same stuff just lighter and no wings and stuff. Japan only tho.

Id have to say a plymoth laser rs. Swap a mitsu 4g63 with a fully build motor, 20g turbo, with all the goodies including an awd tranny. Itd be an ugly ass car but no one would expect a laser to have 600+ hp with 2000lbs or less weight to boot...
