a sleeper is a car you dont expect. i.e. that hatch with type r seatbelt pads and a broadway, that kills you by 6 car lenghts

Rep Power: 0 A Toyota tercel w/ a fully built 4A- GE (P/P, TODA internals, flywheel...), a TRD set of gears. It would make around 300 hp at the flywheel. The gearing/ flywheel etc would improve acceleration like crazy. (this car just tops 2000 lbs stock!) As the motor is about the same size as stock (1.6L vs 1.5L) it would be a total sleeper, even if you pop the hood.

A sleeper is the 1986 or 1987 Buick Regal T-Type, available with the exact same drivetrain as the Grand National. Imagine that same power with a padded vinyl roof and a bench seat 
I'm gonna vote for this Focus I saw in Autoweek magazine. It has a complete SVT Mustang Cobra rear wheel drive conversion that's cranked up to 500 HP. Shut the hood and it looks like a sleeper to me...
GN's are sleepers only to the people that don't know about them.

Most of the foreign luxury sedans. (Audis, Mercs, Lexus, etc) Those look like grocery getters, but they gott some hella power.
Like the Audi RS 6
The limited edition RS 6 (available Summer 2003) is a powerhouse five-passenger sedan that lives up to the Audi reputation for performance.
See it at Audi.com

True, but what you may or may not be expecting is an M5 4 door sedan sticking to the heals of your Corvette. .
rusty crx like mine with a b20b/b16a2 head... 12 second car... i need to find a b20b somewhere from a wrecked crv sometime and buy a b16 head from ebay or something. i then will turbo the **** outta that car

the t-type differed in that it had no intercooler... i had an 86, best 1/4 mile: 12.39
also, the suspension can be upgraded with GNX quality stuff, .92 g's...
considering that the motor is stable up to 1100hp, yeah... i'd say thats a good foundation for a sleeper....
