Re: Sleeper Car

Get a used Grand Prix or Regal with the NA 3.8L and add a turbo kit = 11sec car


Drop an LS engine in a used RX7...

Re: Sleeper Car

^ galants are nice, esp. the galant VR4 if you can find one. Also, a saab aero 9000, or a dodge spirit R/T ... those are all nice sleepers.

Re: Sleeper Car

^All weak.

Get a Mitsubishi Starion or Dodge Conquest (same car) and build the motor up with a MPI conversion and lots of boost. youd have a 12 second car for about 6 grand and it'll last longer then you.

nope wrong, but kinda right. the 2.3l ranger engine is in the most recent engine in the ranger, it is the duratec 2.3l. the last gen ranger (mine is a 99) had a 2.5l 4 cyl. the 2.5l in the ranger is the same as the SVO mustang engine, but it is bored out some. the mustang engine was 2.3l, so you are right there.
