What is a sleeper?
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.
a sleeper is a car that looks stock, or even beat up, but has somthin nice under the hood.
damn you beat me, lol
"HA-HA" (nelson from simpsons)
So that would be like taking my Subaru Impreza and beating on it with a hammer?
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?
PS- where the hell is sherman at?
Take all your spiffy STi body and interior pieces and replace them with the base model parts.Quote:

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. :DQuote:

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

You should search before saying we're wrong when we're giving him a basic idea to answer his question. :DQuote:

they fix up the body and stuff to make it seem 'faster' when they got shit under the hood....is there a term for that too? juz curious :D
Some people consider that rice while myself and some others consider it "all show and no go."Quote:
