I dunno about the respect comments....anyone ever seen one in person? The fact that you can slip in an '03 Cobra engine and it fits under the stock hood is pretty amazing.

I guess for my sleeper to work, the crazy lumpy cam wouldn't really fit into the equation so scratch that. Being turbo i wouldn't need it anyways.

Hell i've seen some boosted up GTP's that didn't need the spray to be a sleeper. Too bad those cars weren't RWD...i just can't drive a FWD car and be happy no matter how fast it is.


Hell, i was just sitting here thinking, i've got one of the best sleepers there is...my Merkur I just need to dump some cash in it and it'll be pretty quick.

An old box-bodied '86-'89 Lincoln Town Car, complete with grandpa-style wire-spoke hubcaps and a carriage rooftop, with a stripped interior and with a carb'ed 351 stroked to some insane number bolted to a built-up AOD with 4.10 or steeper gears.

Now that you mention it the strut tower bar does look pretty fake.
