Which of these can be easily turned into a sleeper?

Its obvious that I'm stupid and uneducated. Now educate me!

BTW, this is just for fun. I'm looking at cars that are less in demand in the market so nobody really knows whats underneath the hood

Re: Which of these can be easily turned into a sleeper?

I don't know much about those cars at all. The best sleepers in my opinion are the old turbo Dodges, and Galant VR-4s

i'd say the mirage, since they are basically detuned evo's. you can swap 4G63's into them.

Re: Which of these can be easily turned into a sleeper?

in the Paseo, a 5EFTE swaps right in and with more work, a 3SGTE swap is doable.

the MX6 LS gets very good gains out of a turbo because of its largish engine and if you just want a little boost, the 190 hp JDM KLZE engine drops right in.

I would have to say a Mirage. Like TatII pointed out, swap in the 4G63 and go to town. That would make a great sleeper, at least a better option that the other three. The big problem with the SVX is that it kind of looks fast already and wouldn't make the best sleeper just because of the looks.

Re: Which of these can be easily turned into a sleeper?

Ya I forgot about Bill Grassroots Mid engine Festiva SHO-Gun , but he arched it out so it dont look too sleeperish it looks more goofy. The svx alcyone was a great car with some slight super car looks (interlocking windows) but I think thats far from sleeper since it was Subarus Flagship for some years they had alot of toys to put on them and there known not to be the fastest car but faster than most stock. Its my fave Subaru anyhow and I see them around quite a bit over the years. Never seen one rode hard and left wet there always near mint shape when I see them. What about a HUGO , werent they known to be gutless wonders?

First off the RX-7 isn't even on his list. What is so hard about sticking to what people are asking you? Second, the Rx-7 is hardly a sleeper.
