All that is true but for me the idea of a sleeper defines cool. Not the nerdy side of sleepers, just a less obvious look on a decent styled car. Like a plain Jane 2dr sedan

I tried the whole time we owned the 56 to get dad to put some nice wheels & tires on it. He wouldn't even think about it. We lost 2 hub caps on our trip to Mississippi in the 56 and he made me find more and put on it. He said it was just what he wanted it to look like. A boot leger car! As he put it.

Gm has made 2 of them of sorts in the last 5 years... the SS sedan doesn’t overly scream bad ass unless you know exactly what it is. It is LS3 powered after all. If your not paying much attention it could be mistaken for a malibu.
Also the LT1 Camaro that is identical to the base model 4cyl LS trim level with the exception of the 450 hp Camaro SS and base Corvette LT1 power plant. It looks like just another higher production 4cly Camaro... but it’s not at all. Note it doesn’t even come with a spoiler. I bet many a mustang guy, challenger guy, ricer etc has been surprised by either of these. |

The sleeper look also, keeps the riff raft from checking out what you got, and liking it more than you, and jacking it. No one touched my 1984 caprice wagon,the 4 years I owned it , with Camaro 6.2 ls . wider steel wheels with 1986 Chevy fake wire wheel hub caps. Nice stereo system. and other parts to help it turn. The guy with his mid 80's Regal with ls and fancy wheels was not so lucky. it got jacked, 3 times. |

I haven't seen a lot of (what I would consider) sleepers in this thread. I was expecting stuff that looked more like this:

I never thought I'd say "Cool Pacer" But that's a really cool Pacer.

Found this while looking for something else:
Nick Scavo's Impala: Bench seat Nitrous activation: power on by hitting the horn ring; one stage by hitting the dimmer switch and second stage by hitting a button Column shifter(!) reworked for manual shifting Dummy bottom portion of a stock fuel tank to hide the fuel cell Gages hidden inside glove box Platform style trailer hitch for (a) ballast (b) chute mount and (c) wheelie protection Full interior, including back seat, stock appearance, 10.5" tire Eight second ETs in the quarter The Hot Rod article was entitled "While you were Sleeping" https://www.hotrod.com/articles/4355...t-impala-drag/ http://forums.maxperformanceinc.com/...1&d=1571680106 |

Re: Are sleepers still a thing?
To me a sleeper is a car or truck that is going to really surprise me with its performance ... Wow, I didnt see that coming!
But these days nothing surprises me. Ive seen a zillion (give or take) online videos that show any and all types of cars, trucks, and motorcycles with crazy performance. If I see some underwhelming car bust loose on the street now, I think thats cool, but its hardly a surprise anymore when anything seems to go when it comes to performance mods. |
