WO.

I must get one.

Best sleeper I ever saw personally was an old Volvo 2-series with a dry-sump racing V8 in it. The wheels almost gave it away (very fat). It would leave at least 50 yards of black along the ground on take-off. Being a Volvo, the cops ignored it, unlike all the garish Japanese things kids drove around on Friday and Saturday nights.

Feel like an idiot, but what does it mean that the car is a "sleeper"? Looks slow but is fast?

Essentially, a car that looks stock on the outside but has heavy perfomance modifications underneath.

Fun sleeper = Toyota Camry 4WD with Evo running gear transplanted. And I'm talking about this camry: http://toyota.jp/camry/concept/concept/index.html

Alternaitvely, just shove an LS9, convert it to rear wheel drive and call it a day.

Yes. Preferably even made to look slower. For example, good example of a sleeper would be old, bit rusty, Dodge Dart with pizza-slicer sized tires and dustcap rims, but engine and powertrain changed to some extremely trimmed V8 tech, built to smoke unsuspecting sport(y)car owners.

Or above mentioned Volvo. (great idea for sleeper!

) Or one Lada that was around here several years ago (havent seen it personally, but my dad has) which was turbocharged to hell. According to my pops, the engine didnt last long without mainteance, but it was built only to show rearlights to unsuspecting BMW drivers anyway, pure toy for amusement.

Its a 2-seater 4-door.

Give me about 20 minutes with that car and it will be ready for the junk yard. If you want something to beat on get an 8. What a peice of crap. BTW, its not really a sleeper with the giant hood scoop.

True true...put a stock hood on it and move the air intake underneath or in the cowl area or something.
