Sleeper Thread

Quit implying your honda is fast :p Anyone can beat a bolt-ons mustang. Heres a (my buddies, actually) very lightly modded Caprice (giant 4 door body-on-frame grandma car) beating one on a track.

I was looking for some DR30 RS action but now I want more wagon love.


Stagea AWD (Skyline wagon) weighs more than 1,500 kg vs DR30 Skyline weighs less than 1,300 kg

Yeah but the RS-turbo is an old school car with a not-so-impressive 4-pot and RWD. That's a nice example. Can't tell if the Stagea is a RS-Four or an Autech.


I don't know if this really counts as a sleeper or not. It's two-door and looks a little sporty but I don't think you'd assume this to have a 300hp turbo'd 3-rotor. The Eunos Cosmo:

At least in a european context, the Seat Leon 2.0 TFSI FR is quite a sleeper IMO. It looks quite ordinary, especially if you ripp off the FR-badges. 211 bhp, 280 NM and 0-62 mph in 6,9 seconds.
 
always liked those windshield wipers on the Leon.
They look cool, and they prevent people from putting some crap brochure behind your wipers.

There's a problem though: when it's snowing, the wipers gather snow in their housing in the a-pillar. Said snow prevents them from reaching their rest position and makes them smear wet snow all over the windshield every time they wipe. To prevent that, Seat introduced heated a-pillars: They do a good job, put they are a complex solution to a simple problem that shouldn't have existed in the first place.

Don't know if this was already posted but... is that an 80's caprice wagon? :lol:



And I know this was already posted, but this wicked Ford 1929 deserves to be seen again :D

Also a few years old, but this one never fails in making me laugh

Lastly... are we talking only about sleeper cars? What about a little innocent looking Italian Vespa? :D
I don't even think it's all that fast, but the idea is funny as hell
