Good sleeper

Which would you choose to be ur sleeper?

Do you even know what a Sleeper is?

yeah, none of those cars are really sleepers. the cobra has the big hood scoop and loud exhaust, the magnum has a big long hood so you know there must be something under there. the cts-v can kind of be a sleeper.....kind of.

Yeah, those aren't really sleepers.

a sleeper is a GA16 powered sentra with a BB t-28 turbo!

Yeah okay, sure...

A better sleeper would be a Honda Civic with no external modifications, but only "under the hood" performance mods, like turboes, and stuff like that.

no, too many civics run 10's. thats no sleeper. i know of a good sleeper..a Ford festive with a SVT focuz turbo engine. on the 12" steelies:)

Not where I live, all the civics here are ricers

Well, no a sleeper is a Civic plastered in stupid stickers, wings, fart can, Type R badges etc...


BUT with any underhood mods of your choice that'll make it an 11 second car. Mustang owner pulls up, thinks- "Just another ricer" .......Yeah right :D:D

Funny, cause Discovery Channel had a special where the put $10,000 under the hood of a Civic and it still did the 1/8 mile slower than my stock 1992 Mustang GT.

Anyway, I would say the Cadillac, the other two wouldn't be very good at being "sleepers."

$10,000 and slower than a mustang gt? i dont really know about that $1000 already for a engine swap $4000 for a turbo kit, the rest for bolt ons n new pistons ringlands, 400lb lighter than the mustang gt with the same horsepower and a little less torque? HAH

Oh, it had some huge hp number like 350 in a 2400 pound car, was still slow as dirt though, oh well for her.

Good Sleeper = Taurus SHO

Great Sleeper = SHOgun

If I remember correctly, the Taurus SHO was the one with the 3.0L Japanese V6 in it right? Pretty nice car, but don't know much on it's performance specs, so can't really comment on it.

I had no time to read these all but u guyz r too cheap! What I call a sleeper is car with over 500 hp which doesn't get pulled over at nights! that magnum looks too ugly and the cadillac is too classy to be a race car so I think they are both great sleepers. For now my sleeper is a Pontiac grand prix but I might buy a magnum nxt yr :D

"A better sleeper would be a Honda Civic"
Jap cars are good sleepers but I don't think they ever wake up ;)

Anyone thinks that a ford RS200 is a good sleeper? not really in the same class with any of these cars but a great car.

The SHO is a 3.4L V8 with 235BHP/230torque(Yamaha?), as far as I know.

:rofl: that is great, but it doesn't apply to all japenese cars, but it is still funny.

I honestly do not have much info about the 2005 Magnum. I am sort of familiar with the CTS-V, but I think I would rather prefer Ford Mustang SVT Cobra

only from 99+. the prior generation had a 3.2 yamaha v6. they're the best SHO's. the generation that include the 89 SHO is the lightest/fastest. i'd still take a maxima instead.

i think i saw that. wasn't it where they swapped in a jdm integra type r engine (b20) and all sorts of shit and it still ran like a 14.5.



i picked the magnum cuz i like hemi's. i'd also go with the chrysler 300M.

"i think i saw that. wasn't it where they swapped in a jdm integra type r engine (b20) and all sorts of shit and it still ran like a 14.5."

Yah, that would be it, it really sucked despite all the hard work they put into it, but some of that could be attributed to the driver. She was some dumb airhead little ghetto poser girl ("yo dawg, check out my phat ride!") and she didn't seem like she knew what she was doing. She seemed like one of those idiots with a Civic with nothing but stickers and a big exhaust tip that tries to race V8 Mustangs and Camaros.

She lost to an Eagle Talon that also had $10k of work into it, he BARELY beat her and snapped an axle doing it. Idiots...

About the SHO, I was thinking about the older ones with the V6, didn't know they kept making them...

WTF?
a $10000 worth of mod civic slow? what did they put in it? stickers? man, give me half of that, $5000 and ill smoke your mustang with my 91 Sentra!

trust me, no civic can be a sleeper! theres tons of them! sleeper is something you have NO idea it can go fast! if a ugly CRX pulls up next to me, i know its either very slow(stock) or very fast(b18)

My car is a perfect sleeper. Hell, almost all of the Turbo Dodges and Chryslers were. They are cars you would never expect to be fast but they are. Also, you can make most any car into a sleeper, but there are quite a few exeptions.

However, $10,000 would have a Civic walking a stock Mustang easily. Who ever modified it does't even have the brains God gave a pissant.

"WTF?

Oh what an achievement! Especially since my ENTIRE car including all the mods cost me $3800! :rofl:

Maybe it'll be more fair if I also got $5000 to put into my engine. :iceslolan

What year is your Mustang and what are your mods?

Who cares if you only paid $3,800 plus mods. I am sure I can be beating you for less. Hell, I am about to pay $600 for a car that with less than $1,200 in mods can be running 12s.

So, put that in your pipe and smoke it.

Great sleeper=turbo-charged Maxima

correction:
Great sleeper=Maxima :iceslolan

great sleeper subie legacy GT wagon drop in STI motor and tranny there you go AWD 300 hp and ft lbs and nuff room for your fam.

correction:
:iceslolan
Yeah, it actually is a great stock sleeper. But sneaking a turbo in......... :eek:

Do you even know what a Sleeper is?


Yeah?

Do you even know who I was addressing that to?

10,000 dollars will have any car walking away from pretty much any other car easily.

Yeah, it actually is a great stock sleeper. But sneaking a turbo in......... :eek:
:evillol:

dodge omni glh turbo.

Do you even know who I was addressing that to?


Yeah but I thought I'd reaffirm it, wasn't answering you. Meant it as to say Yeah do you? to that same person.

i have a 88 crx the i put a sohc zc 1.6 in and it stomps any mustang or camaro around except for my firends 69 camaro i can leave anyone a lead buy at least 2 car lengths. so ill pick honda over anything anyday.

none of those cars are sleepers, the magnum is brand new and mean looking, but I can see where you are coming from considering it's a station wagon, but i can't see where you arecoming from at all with the 'stang cobra, it has a scoop, some racing paint jobs, racing alloys, and and any one that knows anything about cars knows that that caddy has a North star V-8, Any ways the best sleeper is probably an '84 Cravan with a factory insalled Turbo. I seen videos of them bating vettes,porsches and runin 10's

:bs:



whatever..... :rolleyes:

It's funny because out of the cars that have been listed as sleepers I have two of. Well..... I have an 87 Omni and a 95 Aspire which is the car that replaced the Ford Festiva. I really wanna make the Aspire my slepper if I had the cash

My Sleeper: 95 Accord with h22a and and turbo to boot! No External Mods... 0!

Okay which would be a better rebuilt sleeper?
1986 Renault Alliance
1986 CRX
1988 nissan sentra
1988 tercel
And does anybody know what size of engines fit on the 88 tercel?

hmm id say a celica alltrac... awd turbo 3sgte :smile: thats a pretty good sleeper imo... im talking about the older (1990) one... im not sure wut gen that is

yea thats a pretty good sleeper

a volkswagen golf is a damn good sleeper, even the gti, although they are already purty decently fast. noone ever expects it out of a golf.

i know first hand i got smoked by a gti with some serious mods at the track a few weeks ago and you see what i have done to my car

the mag may not be a sleeper, but drop in a twin-turbo viper v10 and it'll surprise anybod

i have a 88 crx the i put a sohc zc 1.6 in and it stomps any mustang or camaro around except for my firends 69 camaro i can leave anyone a lead buy at least 2 car lengths. so ill pick honda over anything anyday.It can stomp ANY mustang or camaro, But it can't take a 69 Camaro which is SLOWER then any Mustang or Camaro now-a-day's.. Would you like to tell us you car has trouble keeping up with base model Ford Windstar's with a whole family in it instead? :rofl:

a sohc zc lol i could beat you in my old ford focus

warning. videos.

those cars are high profile. you see a new codra,magnum,or cts-v at a race you'll know there somthin sweet under the hood, and all are packin v8's.

90 Mazda 626 turbo. I bought one for fun. Everyone thinks its a accord until they realize they came stock with 2.2 turbo. Easy as hell to build (from what i hear) and can take down most civics
