Sleeper car
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.

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.

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.

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

Any year from 1998-05 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi. People in Camaro Z28s and Mustang GTs get up next to my moms 98 Pontiac Bonneville SSEi and get smoked by it  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. |
