Question Whats your idea of the ultimate sleeper?

Mines maybe not the most subtle, but....
id take an e36 M3, supercharge it and leave it completely stock on the outside. an 11 sec stock looking car thats dead sexy already would be so sick.

I have yet to see an eleven second escalade. My ultimate sleeper would be an Audi RS6.

my vote goes to an old school beetle, like 60s - 70s. done up right, those things can spank the snot out of quite a few things. and if you keep the body subtle, no one will even be the wiser. perfect sleeper IMO.

GNX of course, or the 25th i think it was, Trans Am with the GNX motor. 0-60 in 5 flat, beat the vettes of that year. Sweet car

Wasn't sure if you were goin for sarcasm, but the TA and Goped race was fake... fast forward motion

Could you really call it a sleeper after all that exterior work?

True, but most people don't know about them. Most people see them, think "Oh, it's a redneck in an old Monte Carlo," and walk off. Remember - we're the minority.

I always thought a sleeper was a car with no exterior work done to it and all engine modifications.
