Saw this, a good definition of a street sleeper - but not a pretty one:

I actually find that a really pretty car :D. I'd be broke one month after owning it though, impossible to tax for me and fuel will cost, erm, loads.
 
What worries we are that those are exactly the same photographs that were with it was for sale last well over a year ago. And I'm pretty such the "GT45" turbo and Manifold are XS Power eBay specials which do not hold the best reputation.

My view? Why bother going through all that hassle of making a Supra powered Sleeper if Toyota made one themselves? :D

And he's not talking junk about them being capable of 400BHP. Decat, exhaust, air filter, boost controller and you'll be very quick indeed!
 
Well I'd happily sit in the driver's seat and mash the loud pedal. What happens next, well I'm up for finding out :D

LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG!

Remember kids, a genuine GT45 will flow air good enough for over 1,000BHP :eek:
 
Can I ask fella's, I ain't sure on what "sleeper" means in car wise as i'm only 16, but I do know my cars :p I'm guessin it meas like the car looks original but under the bonnet, its been upgraded?

Yea - sleeper basically denotes anything that looks stock (or like it should be slow) - but isn't :D

Example:


Or this - stock looking RX7, with 1650BHP :D

:D

Have a Google for "volvette", in my mind the true definition of sleeper :)
