A sleeper does what you dont expect but it can only do it once cos then they know.
Theres a sleeper in the picture below. Not noticed, bit of sniggering , seen as a joke amongst the Supercars, not featured in the Video. The Red 700bhp AMG wanted to know why it was there after all it only had 4 cylinders & capable of 150mph. Then the racing started .

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleeper_%28car%29

Sleeper cars are termed such because their exterior looks little or no different from a standard or economy-class car. In some cases the car appears worse due to seeming neglect on the owner's part
A Cossie is not a sleeper.

That Mk2 Golf is just mega. I want

A sleeper has to be a shopping version of a car in my eyes, eg. the Mk2 golf and old Volvo highlighted in this thread, also there's a gay looking fwd Starlet in Oz with 400bhp plus nitrous, awesome!

Only a senile person could think a car is a sleeper if it's parked in the car park (paddock) at a top speed event

Volvette and the Mk2 Golf for me

Even the guy on the R1 said he wouldn't think from looking at the Volvette it would do 190 mph

I'd say the escort is a sleeper. You wouldn't look at it twice unless you were either up close or in the know.
