I keep hearing the word sleeper car. What's a sleeper car? Right now im looking at a Nissan Sentra SE-R and ever time I talks to some body they say it's a cool sleeper car. Dos that mean the car is boring to drive. because that the last thing I want. it's a 5 speed manual and to me it don't seem to boring. posted by  stevenbob0

Damn you need to get around, a sleeper is a car that doesn't look fast but is, the SE-R is fast but it just looks like the 1.8 liter Sentras when in fact it has the 2.5 liter Altima motor. posted by  99integra

Think opposite of ricer (all show no go).

A Fiero with v8 is a sleeper, a sunfire with a 3800SC is a sleeper... pretty simple to make a sleeper... the best is to have a sleeper till you can afford to make it look better, then once you can show and go, then youll have a real car. :mrgreen: posted by  TheFieroKid

A "sleeper" car is a car that looks stock (or not fast) but is actually VERY fast. posted by  SlipKnoT

Any year from 1998-05 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi. :mrgreen: People in Camaro Z28s and Mustang GTs get up next to my moms 98 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi and get smoked by it :laughing: All you really need to do to make those cars get into the mid 13s is get a smaller super charger pulley and hollow out the catalytic converters. posted by  SlipKnoT

i considered mine a sleeper till the exhaust from hell, 81 caprice 4 door, the poor mans caddilac with a 383 stroker, the gearing in the rear end is crap but after about 20-30km/h it'll out accell most on the road posted by  BanffAutoSpa_ap

AE86 + 20B = sleeper posted by  GreekWarrior
