Best early 90's turbo sleeper!

[kman10587]

Which one of these turbocharged cars from the early 90's do you think makes the best sleeper? And yes, I realize that the Supra, 300ZX, and AWD DSM would smoke any of these, but those are hardly sleepers

[clawhammer]

There's also the MR2

I don't really think that's much of a sleeper. The cars here, almost no one has ever heard of, or almost no one knew they were turbo.

In the spirit of stupid replies, a 5.0! Seriously though, the Le Barons were kick-ass and I'd love to see one smoke a riced out civic. I'd especially love to see the "Wait.. I'm losing wtf! I NEED MORE 'SPONSOR' STICKERS FOR MORE HP!!" look on the civic driver's face as he's getting smoked

Damnit Paul, get out of my thread :P

You know what has my vote.

[kman10587]

I should hope so

I voted for the Impulse, because NO ONE has ever heard of it.

Read the title, people...."SLEEPERS". Cars no one has ever heard of. I think anyone who sees an RX-7 or MR2 is gonna know that it's a fast car.

SLEEPER, people. damn.

Not the Impulse, they handle like dog shit, I remember being scared shitless by a mates Piazza Turbo once (Same car as Impulse) only seemed to want to go in a straight line, same thing with the MX6.

Where I was from, the VR4 was by no means an unknown quantity, so not that either.



So the Dodge, or a Lancia Delta HF Turbo.

Heh, the Galant VR-4 never really did too well in America...for whatever reason, we abhor the idea of mixing sedans with performance. Goddamn image-consciousness. :/

The pizza was a product of the 80s, the 90s Impulse was a small 4dr with AWD with a 1600 twin cam Turbo (same engine that Lotus used in the Elan).

Very underated little cars.


However the VR4 Gallant has to be the best sleeper in the list, especialy the later Twin Turbo V6 versions, and espcialy since in Japan you could order any body style with any engine spec and trim level.
Here in NZ there are LOTS of 1.8l VR-G gallants that look VR4s, and Iv even seen VR4s with VR-G bumbers and side skirts.

We never got a V6 TT Galant VR-4 here, we only got the 4G63-powered Galant in '91 and '92.
