So being a pimp in my celica is nice and all but its kinda annoying having all show and no go. Next summer i want to start a sleeper project to change things up a little bit. Heres what i was thinking:
I saw this accord the other day that looked like a slowwww mommy sedan (exaclty what i want) and i sorta said perfect, then after pulling up behind it i saw it had v-tech and a v6. If it was a 5 spd i might have asked the guy driving it to sell it on the spot lol, bue yea i wanted it. I havnt really looked into it alot but heres what is ideal: -bigger than a 4 -5spd common -light and looks wicked slow -more than average aftermarket performance support What would you do if you wanted to build the perfect sleeper? O yea try a budget of no more than 5k, lol sorry (im not 3sgte swapping either!!!) |

I saw a 185 3S swapped camry Alltrac at the show a couple weeks ago. The only thing that made it look "modified" was the rims, but other than that..... it had a TMIC and a stock-tipped muffler. It was awesome.

Not so much of a "sleeper" but ive always wanted to build a GZE AE92 sedan. I think they just oh so sexy. Hahaha
Or if I get lucky as hell find a Geo Prizm GSi.. they come stock with the 4AGE in a 4door! lol hmm best sleeper would be a honda.. but now a days.. many think that hondas are never sleeper.. I see people revving on stock hondas. |

I've seen a old corolla GTS completely stock on the outside, crappy paint, stock wheels etc, with a 1JZ swap in it driving around Newark. I know is a corolla GTS but I still consider it a nice sleeper. I saw this car taking a M6 on Rt 280, that was sick !

I have given a little thought to sleepers in my time as I think they are the best form of car out there and I want to own a couple of them. My top couple on the list right now are a cressida wagon with a 1uzfe swapped into it or a previa van(haven't figured out what motor or mods I would do to it yet but it could make a hell of a sleeper).

I want to build a Honda Civic hatchback with a b20 turbo. Honestly.
Other than that, I want a 70-72 Monte Carlo with a 350, or 383. Would shoot for 400hp and street driveability. -------------------- Sometimes we live to beat the odds.
