actually, i find that most people think ALL new imprezas are wrx's, hood scoop or not. mine has 2.5ts emblems and no scoop and i STILL get "hey nice wrx" every week or so, this coming from the so-called racers that say they know everything about imports. the funniest thing though was when the owner of one of the local import shops was looking at my car and said "too bad they dont make a wrx wagon" i was thinking the owner of an import shop said this??? needless to say i dont trust them with any of my tuning needs.

ldelaysionl,

What did you have done to your 2.5TS to get it to run quarter's in the high 14's or low 15's?

LOL, my dad used to have one of those mini-vans. He wouldn't have bought it otherwise. Those vans are some damn good sleepers. Also those new Maximas are a lot quicker than you would expect them to be. They aren't a bad sleeper at all.

-cy-

I guess the GN could be called a sleeper. I feel sorry for the fool that races it thinking Buick and have a laugh about it. Those are nice, I'd live to add one to my collection.

After thinking about it though I did once see a Dodge Challenger with 340 badges on it but it had a 528 Hemi in it. But then again it is kinda hard to hide a Hemi.

weapon r intake, universal muffler, and thats about it. as for why its faster than all the published times, u got me? im thinking the "testers" or whoever they use to get those times didnt have enough practice with proper launch technique, its tricky to do without bogging the engine, even dropping the clutch at redline bogs it down. ive had a LOT of practice dragging mine, so i guess thats why? id like to get a wrx on a track and see if i could make it go faster than published times, if i could then we know for sure that its lack of practice on the testers part.

oh and i got another sleeper. the opel lotus omega. looks like any other 4 door sedan, but under the hood lurks a twin turbo inline 6 producing 377 hp and 419 ft lbs stock. coupled to a 6 speed manual in a relatively light (3600 lb) body, and u got a nice sleeper *sigh* if only they sold em here, i might have gotten one of those instead.

1991-1993 Nissan Sentra SE-R. A sleeper anyway, but doubly so with an SR20DET (JDM turbo) in it.

Somewhere out there, there's one mystified 996 owner, wondering why the heck a nerdy-looking Sentra stayed glued to his bumper, no matter how hard he pushed the gas

if were talking modified cars...small economy cars with big engines put in them. For example, jay leno apparently has a ford festiva with a straight 6 and Nitrious! that would definately piss the snot out of anyone who just spend their years earnings on a sweet sports car

I would have to agree with the Grand National being he biggest sleeper. They dont look fast at all, but they can beat most cars out there. I also like the BMW M5 w/o badges, that would be nicccceee!!!!

As for the E39 ///M5 , you'll look kinda strange with 4 tail pipes and a 520i badge... But i know a guy that has an Alpina B10 Bi-turbo with 518 badge... And for those who don't know alpina B10 bi-turbo is a E34 that kills ferraris , porsches etc. with a BiTurbo engine which stock makes 360 hp and i've heard of 650 hp+ ones...

Also how about brabus E-class with this 7.3 582 hp V12?
You won't expect a wagon to do 320 kmh or a sedan to do 330 kmh
And that's actually because they don't make tyres for such heavy cars to do more... Also how about those GMC Python or how they are called that make 0-60 in 4 sec or so , because the F-150 lightning does give the game away at the first sight... ...
