    Sleepers

    I like sleepers and searched for a thread but saw none so this thread shall henceforth be used as a repository of sweet sleeper cars starting with this Viper engined XJS I found on Jalopnik.

    That's a pretty sweet sleeper - post yours and keep this thread in mind when you see a good sleeper

    I was thinking more of modified sleepers ie: a 1993 Plymouth Voyager with a quad-turbo big block V8.

    20B rotor in a stock (down to exhaust and original tyres) early 80's mazda 626.

    IIRC put out about 500hp.

    Clutch will hopefully have some photos.

    i do? i'll have to check.
    that cruddy brown mazda 808 was hilarious (400+ RWHP), wtb: traction

    aristo's are quite sleeperish, especially the nice older gen model.

    Lotus Omega needs no modifications to be a sensational sleeper.
    Lack of charisma can be fatal.
    Visca Catalunya!
