The sleepers appreciation thread



  172 Race Car
yes you are correct but it looks like its modified.

Sleepers look standard/stock/s**t/base model. Not with massive ferrari rims, crome body work and dragging its ass down the road

Sorry, I didn't realise that you can buy an estate with a ferrari engine. Sos I haven't got any more info on it.

My version of a sleeper:

If I pull up next to it at the lights, I would think its a s**t box and would waste it in my Diesel pug van, when in fact, it looks like a shitbox, but it has a fire breathing 2.0T motor that is going to blow my doors off.

The Silver 20 inch ferarri wheeled hot-rod you just posted doesn't say sleeper.

imo of course.

Fair enough, but it does fill some of the criteria. I agree the rims are too far but it still doesn't look fast.

Not as impressive as some of the stuff on here but not bad for our first attempt at mechanics - me and my mates AX VTS




also a bloke on axoc has built this, i know its not really a sleeper but still worth a mention




AX Cosworth

i saw there was a few posts about john sleath too, he lives near me in conisbrough, on the same road where i work, his cars are brilliant, i've never heard/seen anything like them, especially the cortina

The guy even went to the lengths of cutting one of the exhausts so that you only see one, pretty extreme :)

My mates legacy turbo is a bit of a sleeper - no one seems to know what it is, but its got brembos on, td05 turbo running quite a bit of boost so its around 260/280 bhp. Goes very well and surprises people! :)

I particularly like the dented, scuffed front wing for added sleeperiness(?).

Mk3 Polo with some questionable choice in wheels, nothing too unusual here...

...hold on a minute, where's the engine...and what's a bottle of NOS doing under the bonnet?

Oh look a 1.8 20vT engine in the rear with about 400bhp! This car is definitely a sleeper, no one expects that power in a Polo. Also when you pull up a long side it you can't see the engine as it's below the line of the windows...sweeet.

Civic Type R getting whupped by a G40...ok it's supercharged but it's a small box with a 1.3 engine...you'd not expect this. Plenty of standard looking cars with 170-210bhp, peoples faces are priceless when you pass them/keep up with them.
