Ultimate Sleeper
What would, in your opinion, make the best sleeper (with proper modifications, of course)? I'm all for a minivan with an engine setup a-la the Renault Espace F1 (mid-engine, 800+hp). But here's a little list I've come up with while I was bored at work:
-Anything made by Kia -Any minivan -Any old wagon with that cheap wood panelling on the side -A rust-covered old truck -Granny's old Grand Marquis -Geo Metro -Hyundais And here's what would be the true ultimate sleeper, in my opinion: VW Bus!  So, what's everybody else think? Can anybody find a good pic or two of a great sleeper?

Dodge Sprinter, or an 18-wheeler.
Oh and can we give up on threads like this already?

Re: Ultimate Sleeper
Everyone has had their own preference on this. Mine has always been a LeSabre T-Type with an L67 swapped in....*drools*

Re: Ultimate Sleeper
Anything korean. :P
I've always liked lower models with higher end models' "good stuff". Like a lancer with an evo engine and drivetrain conversion. Or one of my favs, a Civic with a K20A engine conversion. Or a higher end model made to look like a lower end one like an Impreza WRX with a front mount IC and 2.5RS hood.

Turbo Dodges Click on the link for the Reliant on the left side of the page.
Diesel trucks also make pretty good sleepers.

Re: Ultimate Sleeper
get a dodge spirit R/T... hard to find but it's the ultimate sleeper, or get a saab 9000 aero you wouldn't expect 14s stock from either of those cars.

:22yikes: A 3.8L supercharged V8 . . . IN A FARKING RICER CAVVY?!?!?!
Wow. THAT's a new one! For the Dodges . . . loved the old Reliant and Spirit! Ha! And the Dart that looked like a beater - awesome! I still wish I could find a 12s VW bus. Imagine that!
