Re: 12 Second Sleeper
Broad range with just those specs.
How about a C4 vette with a hot LT1? A last-gen Camaro with a centrifugal blower? A Fox-body mustang with the same? AWD; you could put some serious cash into a subaru SVX. Or, just buy a Cyclone S10 and be done with it

Re: 12 Second Sleeper
I dont consider many of those cars to eb sleepers.
Vettes, Camaros, Foxes are all obviously fast. Also, Syclones and Typhoons are the worst kept secret i can think of. I was thinkin something along the lines of a sedan or a truck that people dont expect.

Re: 12 Second Sleeper
get an old toyota tercel, but the old pickup truck sr5 engine in it, i've also seen a geo metro that did 12's at the local track too. many other ways, older volvos and saabs are actually quite powerful and you could easily modify them.

Re: 12 Second Sleeper
How about a 1992 Honda Civic hatch w/ a built GSR turbo engine. Those little cars don't weigh anything and on a stock GSR engine you can make 300-350whp on a good set up w/ a good tune. That little car would be a rocket!!

Re: 12 Second Sleeper
I got it, you could borrow my idea and buy the JDM STi engine and transmission out of the 2005 WRX STi. It is a 2.5L flat 4 turbo w/ 300whp and 300ft/lbs of torque. It has an all wheel drive 6spd transmission.
Now you take that and put it into either an early 90's Geo Metro (convertible preferred) or a VW Rabbit. That would be the COOLEST sleeper ever!!

Re: 12 Second Sleeper
