Best STOCK sleeper car?

kfoote · #1 06-04-2003, 05:27 PM

There are a few good stock sleeper cars out there, it looks like the Pontiac GTO will be one, and I surprised many people off the line with my 1991 Ford Probe GT 2.2 turbo. My vote for favorite sleeper though car has to go to the early 1990's Dodge Omni GLHS. I figure a 2200 lb Omni with 200 HP would surprise many of the unknowing masses. Any other opinions on this one?

What about the supercharged Omni FTH?

Do you mean the Dodge Omni GLH? It was turbocharged, unless you're talking about another car? My LeBaron made a pretty good sleeper. I'm afraid the new GTC probably won't though. It won't be much of a sleeper.

That one is easy!
1994-1996 Buick Roadmaster!
0-60 in 6.7
1/4 in 15
it has the 5.7 lt1

Its the car i have! and it damn ugly but i love it!

The Omni GLHS was a special edition of the Omni GLH, I believe there were about 500 of them made. The "S" in GLHS is Carroll Shelby, who did a few modifications to the engine and suspension, and did some lightening of the car. The car was available through Dodge dealers as a special model.

The Buick Roadmaster with the LT1 is a good choice as well, and I'm a bit surprised no one has mentioned any of the mid-60's sedans that had really big engines in them.

I've discovered the 1991 dodge spirit r/t......0-60 in 6.5
its so ugly it could pass as a geo metro.

A year from now, it could be the Dodge Magnum. Imagine what a station wagon with 345 horsepower could do.

97+ Pontiac GTP...can run low-to-mid 14's out of the box all day long. Heck, look what I'm doing with just a K&N.

Yes it is mean.

It would also destroy anything else mentioned so far off the line.

But the thing is, anyone who races has an idea of what a T-Tpye or GN looks like and wouldn't race it. There goes the sleeper theory...

Not to try to promote my own car, but my Maxima and the ladder generation(2002-2003) are sleepers. 0-60 in 5.9 in a 4 door sedan. 6-speed gear-box, and a pretty subtle look.

My car always surprises people when I gun it. It is very quick for not looking it.

for people that know their cars the new gen maxima's are not the best sleepers....we all know the capabilities of those 3.5 VQ's
