A car that looks slow (stock) and goes fast (not stock) Its like putting a cobra super charged engine in a stock 6 cyl stang and keeping the 6 cyl appearance therefore some one might challenge thee thinking how he is going to own this 6 cyl only to find out he was by a sleeper

yeah it but doesn't have to be a Mustang, or even a sports car for that matter. Ya never know what someone decided to make fast. I got raped by a friggin dunebuggy once. I'd say it was a sleeper. It had an old style VW beelte engine Plain old station wagon with big block = sleeper too. Having a sleeper would be fun.

A sleeper is a truck driver's bunkhouse that is attached to the back of the cab where he/she sleeps.

its a person that spends most of his/her time sleeping...

Sleeper is actually a car that you would otherwise look at as slow/stock, but is infact a very fast car. (example would be a KIA with a LS1 engine in it, a 10 second v6, any 10 second car that looks like c**p on the ouside, ect) basically you wont know a sleeper from a stock car/'Kiss Me''Kiss Me''Kiss Me''Kiss Me' car until it blows you away.
