Doesn't get much better for a sleeper.

Yes...and the ~87~90 models also...these early galants are very quick and unassuming...

great post... but i gotta give a staurn credit were its due in the sleeper trade. My first car was a 95 sl 4 door. I remember getting laughed at in it. what people didnt figure was that although its a 4 door unsporty looking sedan and although only packing 100 stock horses under the hood it was sporting a 5 speed with a weight in at like 2450. no cmon.. that kinda weight and a few bolt ons/possible turbo and retain the factor steelies with hubs.. and you got a sleeper hands down... however i still cant get the image of a ss camaro launching next to a old school dodge tubo mini van complete with cheesy wood grain siding and watching the van blow by it to a 11 or so second quarter... i mean dammm lmao.. someone find that video... peace

[helliviknow]

i finally found a link to the video of that mini van taking to camaro iv been ragging about...

guys... new kid on the street here..wonderin if i could get some tips on a car that gets a quick 0-60... lemme know if ya could help me out

if your looking for just a quick car theres all sorts of options. camaros and mustangs are classic options. Then you got everything from DSM's (eclipse/talon/laser/3000gt) to honda's (prelude vtechs are quick, same with gsr integras).

But if your looking for a quick sleeper your going to want something a lil more... subtle.. like a saturn sl2 4 door with a small turbo added (youd be surprized) Just find a car youd think of is slow.. and make it fast. If your strickly looking ofr slow looking fast going factory cars I know the Mazda Millinea is quick, same with the newer v6 altimas and maximas. Theres a whole world of options

I have a 1st gen Crx Si but it look's like the dx or Hf,and I have a performens header, a custom made Ice Man Cold air Intake, 89 integra fule injectors, and the computer. I beat my friends 99 civic Si by like 2 cars. but you know with that computer I can rev up to 7500 rpm's. so that like 50 mph in frist gear. and on top of all that I have a kill switch on one of my sparck plugs to make the car sound like shit. And I'm geting a 7 lbs flywheel for it. and a atc stage 2 clutch. so what do you all think sleeper or not. and if any one wants to know where to get a 7 lbs flywheel for a frist gen Crx E-mail me At MALKAVIAN_0105@yahoo.com

I have a 93 dodge shadow and i it has no acceleration until it hits about 50 mph then it pushes u into your seat and its a 2.2L 4 banger. Its sucks when everyone passes you off the line like your standing still.

You guys serisouly dont know what a TRUE sleeper is....come on..galants, mercedes, CHEVELLES? come on people... Now a turbo caravan, thats a sleeper. But my sleeper IS THE BIGGEST sleeper of them all. It takes 1 ford Festiva....and 1 1988 mazda 323 GTX 1.6 turbo B6T engine. Swap it into the festiva and you are good to go!!! seriously, eat up 5.0's and saleens all day long.

well im not going through all six pages to find out if this was said or not, im beting not! a 93' suzuki swift Gti. this is the ultimate sleeper car, why? well for starters it will hold its own against a 300zx twin turbo, now it wont win, but there aint nothing better than they look you get from the driver keeping up! my 90' gti runs low 14's high 13's, when somday i buy the turbo itll run low 12 n/p. NO ONE WILL SE IT COMING I PROMISE, ASSUMING ANY OF YOU KNOW WHAT IS A METRO ON STERIODS!

btw a stock metro early 90's will bet an civic and caviler out there 3cyl's BIOTCH DONT DISS IT TILL YA TRY IT!

The Chrysler K based cars. Particularly the P and A bodies with the 3.o V6 and 5 speed are awesome. My shadow ES project is a "full metal rocket". Also our LeBaron. Simple mods, rigid bobble strut, strut tower braces, metal brakes, shifter mods, intake mods, and throttle body replacement.

That minivan video is one of the funniest things I've seen in a long time. I'd love to have seen the Camaro driver's face atthe end of that run.

I personally love the Buick GNX as a sleeper, if you can consider it that. To most kids these days it probably looks like nothing more than your every day family car, and it wouldn't take much to make it look even moreso (alter the hood to make it less 'curious' looking, get rid of all the badges and striping, etc). But get it in a race . . .
I had a magazine that had a showdown between a GNX and a Corvette, and I'm telling you I was stunned by the results. At the time I thought the 'vette was almighty, but this kind of opened my eyes a bit . . .

my audi is plenty quick, however my maserait biturbo(once finished being restored) will deffinitly be a great sleeper!

I would have to say my former car could probably( again i said probably im not guranteeing) all of your sleepers. It was a 1948( or so we think because the previous owner was too old to remember and it wasn't matching numbers) Chevrolet 2 door sedan ( a milkman van of sorts). it's body was completely covered in rust it even had some holes on the fenders, but under the hood we had a 502 big block with a weiland supercharger (we cut the engine crossmember and welded a new one lower into the body to fit it) and a 5 speed to back it up. it was giving around 800+ horsepower. It beat many stangs, camaros, and imports while in ohio. Before the rollover though
