Re: suggestions on sleepers

mazda miata's make excellent sleepers mostly because they are thought of as chick cars they get massive amounts of disrespect form most wanna be tuner's which unfortunatly make up the majority of street racers out there. but the fact is the rotory engines that they pack are capable of producing 500hp and the fact that the car is light is a huge advantage.

mazda miata's don't use rotary engine. they have a 1.8 L inline 4 cylinder. an RX7 rotary motor can be swapped in, or so i've heard, but none have a rotary from the factory.

Re: suggestions on sleepers

miata, come on people a stock one would barely keep up with a geo, the new turbocharged miata would have something to offer.
A cadillac is a great sleeper car. My 320hp deville will smoke any hopped up civic. People dont expect such a big car to take em so its a great suprise. 0-60 in a little over 6 seconds.

A 1994-96 Buick Roadmaster is a "grandma" car and runs 0-60 in 6.7 and runs the 1/4 in 15 flat. It has the 5.7 liter LT1 from the corvette!

Re: suggestions on sleepers

How about a 5.0 Miata?

speadfreak.cc has a 5.0L Miata and a 12 sec. Explorer.. and a paxton blown MK8...

Okay, i've said it once, and i've said it again... LSC's... (Lincoln Sport Coupe)

MK8 It looks like a grandma car, but it comes with the 4.6L 32 valve DOHC motor. The same engine in the Cobra. Or, an older MK7 which comes with the EFI 225 HP 302 (87 OR NEWER). Any mon on a Mustang 302 would work on the MK7 302.
