What is a sleeper?

[86LXItooFAST4me]

a very fast mutha FAU-Q car/truck that LOOKS like an everyday stock car, or a complete peace of shit on the out side.

[88accordalltheway]

a sleeper is a car that looks stock, or even beat up, but has somthin nice under the hood.

[88accordalltheway]

damn you beat me, lol

So that would be like taking my Subaru Impreza and beating on it with a hammer?

[86LXItooFAST4me]

no, that would be stupid... if you havent done any body or paint mods and left the rims and exhaust tip alone and put about 10 grand in your engine alone, thats a sleeper. basically if you had two brand new WRXs, took one of the two and did everything you could possibly do to the engine and trans to make it run fast as hell like 10 sec 1/4s and put it right next to the other one that is stock. you wouldn't be able to tell the deference in the two just by looking at it. make since?

Take all your spiffy STi body and interior pieces and replace them with the base model parts.

A sleeper is a completely stock looking 88 chevy nova 4dr hatch back with a turbo charged toyota 4age under the hood :)

or a 91 elantra with a v8 5.0. sleeper can be anything, just looks stock. the motor can be stock too, just as long as it's a superfast car that people think they can beat you by the way it looks but then you own them, that's a sleeper. just because you beat someone doesn't mean you have a sleeper, likea civic beatin a corolla.

Try to picture this: everything STI, but contained in an 89 Accord coupe body. :D

But hey, it's not possible so don't even think about ruining your STI.

Hey you guys are all on the wrong track... Try a K-Car Wagon with a 360 Little Red Express Truck engine,and a narrowed 8 3/4 from a New yorker....And Shelby 15 inch rims/205-50R15 Tires.. YES I did that swap... Used Mopar over the counter parts to do it
