    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?

    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.

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

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

    Heres a clear meaning of what a sleeper is.

    If this car's engine.......................



    ........was under this car's hood, then this car would be a sleeper......(it would actually be in a coma LOL)


    NOW YOU KNOW WHAT A SLEEPER IS HAVE A NICE DAY
