Is the blue thing made for street fun or the track??
My favorite sleepers are the blue thing and the ford thansit whit the jag xj220 engine and drivetrain.
Here is al cool chevolet silverado sleeper whit turbocharged v8 engine
And the best truck sleeper ever runs low 9 seccond passed on the dragstrip and it's gmc skyclone owned by skyclonerobban.
Fastest ever dragstrip pass is 8,98 seconds at 155 mph.

Here is older video of the truck
Now much faster but still looks about the same from the outside.
It still looks almost like a stock skyclone except maby for the wide dragtires.

I still think it's a sleeper.
For me a sleeper is a stock looking that is really much faster than it looks regardless if is used on street dragstrip or racetrack.
9 out 10 sleepers are made for the dragstrip.

Here is some performance data of his truck.
The acceleration is just insane i think it will pretty much own most cars.
Remeber it's still has the full interior and gets used on the street.

looks like a shitty small pickup to me, I do how ever know how quick these little fuckers are and would spot the drag radials streight away, But the majority would not, cyclones are proper sleepers if you ask me

Testing the future
quality vid stu
i saw that jonny fella who loves the goony on fifth gear. he should get it on there, do the 'past and the furious' from max power again
89XR2 totally agree some of the cars posted on here, although cool, are not sleepers. as soon as they have alloys on, or a roll cage and a side exit exhaust ffs, or no bonnet and big red engine poking out of the top, are not sleepers

That's not a sleeper either! you'd see or if you didnt see it hear it coming for miles. It is however one sexual car. and probably one of the best on here.

Was you the chap who posted a in-car vid on this site ages ago? i know someone from this site definatly did and theres not that many cav turbos owners on this site.
I agree with the guy above though, not really a sleeper if you know your cars is it? but to the untrained eye its like you said, an m-reg cav
Looks nice

Isn't a sleeper BASICALLY anything that isn't expected to perform in the way it does? Obviously this is more aimed at Porsche drivers rather than people who are clued up. The better it looks the less elemsnt of surprise exists but they they still do more than they say on the tin.
So trucks are border line pass imo as what new Ferrari 430 driver would expect that to blow them away?
Puddy - yours in drop dead gorgeous but less and less a sleeper yet will still surprise a lot of people in terms of performance.
