eh M5's are definitely NOT sleepers...plus me not driving the corvette in the first place (though it'd be nice) sleepers to me are usually really old/crappy looking outside wit somekinda of motor swap inside and better tires..rims could give it away..

and who the hell on here thinks sedan = somehow slow in the first place?

I dunno. Seems to me like a Sedan = 4 doors = more weight.
Seems like, at least to me a thorough bread sports car bulit with the idea of going fast and looking sexy while doing it, packing 2 doors and a body completely fiberglassed out like a Corvette, would appear to be able to knock the socks off some old guy in 4 door high profile sedan. That's just what it seems like to me. Granted it's not a Geo metro with a NSX engine in it. .
