I have a 98 Buick Regal GS (Supercharged) that I picked up with 73,000 org. KM and want to build it to sleeper spec.

Should have some fun against those Curry Surrey Stangs :awwyeah:

I absolutely love sleepers. It's just the best feeling in the world when no one else but you knows what's sleeping under the hood of your car.

Lol @ the safari van.

The drag slicks obviously indicate that something is a little off, but I would never have imagined how far off it really was.

I have thrown around the idea of driving my VQ35 into the ground then just swapping in an LS7 Crate engine.

Thanks to the V8 Option available in the FX's the engine bay is absolutely huge. The possibilities are endless...

I think some of my favourite sleepers are the volvo's with the t5's. I love the videos of them already going 130km/h and then flooring it; completely lose traction and smoke as if they were standing still. Technically not the fastest, but just seeing it happen is the worlds biggest grin machine

Yes, there's an LS for everything. At least they're reliable

the one thing an M3 driver has always been afraid of, is a debadged Audi wagon...

I drove a somewhat sleeper for a while. 1981 Volvo 245 Wagon that was probably close to 300hp. Surprised many people with it and could still go camping with it on the weekends.

Its pretty easy to tell what it is wether there is a badge on it or not. Besides, it will probably have an electrical meltdown or explode its KO3s as soon as the driver floors it anyways.

[multicartual]

I wonder if the 5.0 BMW could be a fast sleeper with a 347, big heads and a 150 shot

With today's horsepower numbers from the factory, a "fast" car now has to have like 600+ hp :/

Sleepers are practical jokes that you can drive everyday lol

i think it's pretty fair to assume every car guy has their 'sleeper' they'd love to own one day

Was it only brown people who failed my post?

:suspicious:

My Buick is pretty fast as is thanks to relatively light weight and the engine takes so well to mods, the timing gets ahead of itself. Would rather not chip a piston in my excitement.

Will work with a local tuner. Speed Syndicate perhaps. I'm sure this car would look amazing on their homepage!

LS7 Subaru SVX would be the ultimate sleeper

[hk20000]

The best sleeper out there would be a EG/EK civic with a 3' tall wing and a black widow bodykit.

Who'd have thunk that pos actually goes fast?

Meh to sleepers. Like dhillon09 says, a practical joke... I just don't care that much though.

Sounds about right.

I have zero desire to drive a sleeper just to surprise people with it's straight line speed.

New Corollas beat me off the line on the way to Whole Foods so that's more than enough of a sleeper. Nothing surprises me anymore.

[trollguy]

That's cause you're on your fixie with your tight jeans. Of course it's going to be hard to get the bike off the line.

Don't hate me cuz I'm going green. :troll:

I hardly think a roll cage and fat rear tires constitutes a sleeper.

Fantastic nonetheless.

I love a good sleeper.

When you get that dick in a BMW that pulls into right lane which ends immediately after an intersection trying to beat you off the line to cut back in front of you,, the look on his face is priceless when he can't understand why a econobox just blew past him.

Also, who said a sleeper has to only dominate on the straights? :troll:

What about this car, as a 'new' sleeper?

http://barriervolvoblog.com/wp-content/uploads/Volvo-S60-T5-AWD.jpg

AWD, 0-60 in under 6 seconds, looks like an unassuming grandpa car
Driven these a lot for work .. and it is pretty quick

Pretty much the original sleeper..not for people who know anything about cars, but the general public would still underestimate it..

Man.. those GN-X looked pretty mean.


A guy down my street had one... then next thing I knew the car's front end was smashed :facepalm:

[kwy]

Probably just a regular Grand National, as around 40,000 were made. Only 547 GNXs were produced, with most of them likely in museums and private collections by now.

edit - still sad to hear a GN getting wrecked though.

[tofu1413]

i remember it being a grand national.. it was quite a few years back when I was in high school...

didnt know much about these cars.

All I remember was it was blacked out from the factory and looked bad ass in person.

I love the sleeper look, not only does it keep cop attention off you, it also keeps the thieves from becoming too interested in your car.
