Re: RX7 Still a Sleaper????

No no, a sleeper is a car not known for speed yet it can whip ur a$$!

RX-7, unless you're that stupid then it's not since it beats anyone stock, kind of ish. A sleeper must have mods on it. Anyone check out that Sport Compact Car issue with sleepers in it? Like an Eclipse, old school Civic perhaps, idk...stuff like that. My car would especially be a sleeper, 1st Gen Eclipse with a few bumps here and there. Needs some body work but if it could go fast...anyhow......

AA club is my thread in off-topic!!!

you could always have a stock bodied turbo 2 and replace the hood with a n/a version.

Ah, not a good idea. They kind of put that hood on it for a reason.

Re: RX7 Still a Sleaper????

I have a FMIC no need for the hood scoop.
I am putting on a RE hood next week - not exactly low profile but it is reverse cowled so it will serve me well.

Sleeper in my book, is a car you dont expect to be able to beat you and does.

My RX-7? I'll say its a sleeper I have suprised the hell out of various Vettes and a WS-6 recently. I had a Viper try to shake me loose with a goose of his gas once and when I jumped out in font he slowed the hell down and moved away.

When I go to Autocrosses no one gives my car a second look in the pits - its just another ricer wanting to be a racecare driver.

After my run group goes there are lots of visitors to see whats up.

Re: RX7 Still a Sleaper????

Here is a perfect example of why RX-7's are sleepers. I saw this last night and thought of this thread. Scroll down and read how the fastest 7 there ran a 15.1. Now look at all the turbo hoods.

Thank you.

Re: RX7 Still a Sleaper????

yea rx-7s are sleepers... not to any extreme though... people see them and are like yea those cars are pretty quick, but no one expects you to blow them away in their 5.0 mustang or their vette... can't wait till I can do that
