True dat.

Of course it is a sleeper if it is mostly stock with a few minor modifications. Looking forward to seeing the setup.

if you look at a car from a far 30' or farther, and at a quick glance you only see a lip kit, exhaust, lowered and some wheels and everything else looks stock then that's a sleeper... you will only see the mods if you open the hood or look closely at the front bumper and or inside the car...

in addition... any slow cars... economy cars, or piece of **** cars, but can run below 15s all day on a 1/4 mile track is a sleeper... i.e. Toyota Tercel with a boosted k20 swap, or a Kia with a SuperCharged GSR engine

i dont agree. deciding if its a sleeper or not is basically cosmetics. wether or not its a fast "sleeper" depends on turbo i guess but personally id rather go N/A. that reminds me has anyone heard news about honda releasing a turboed car for first time ever in U.S.A. cant remember what car

Like everyone else said its still a sleeper..Unless you have an intercooler that you show off because you didn't put a grill on it and if you have a sticker that says "SLEEPER" on it.. Then everyone else knows what you have therefore making it not a sleeper.

A "got boost" stick can be a give away.

Barring that, I think your is a borderline sleeper. The aforementioned CRX, thats a sleeper. A sleep ought to have what appears to be a stock exhaust, a well hidden FMIC or if you can make one work a TMIC (though that'd require a very unsleeperlike hood) as well as no pillar mounted gauge bods or loud BOVs. Thats the big give away, rev a bit at someone and the BOV goes off its not a sleeper anymore. Thats always the big give away for when I see Neon headlights beside me at a light and can't see the hood scoop to tell me if its a regular Neon or an SRT, the BOV is a dead give away.

The greatest sleeper of all times IMO is the Gallant VR4. a couple of mods on that thing and it will own all

i think it'll be a sleeper when you get this turbo you've been talking about for so long. Until then, just another civic.
