whats a "sleeper"?

[sixstringthing]

Ive heard this term used talking about cars... what does that mean?

 

[tater259]

kidding arnt you?


sleeper is a car that appears stock but under the hood is a different story.

 

[u_s_marine]

Its a stock car that has been modifed but does not look like it or a junk car thats rusted and runs 10's just some examples -

 

[FallenPhoenix]

it's exactly the opposite of a ricer, looks slow but goes fast

 

[White Stang]

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

Or putting a cobra motor into a Tarus

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.

[01'TRUE BLUE GT]

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

 

[triggz]

a sleeper (gobiomorus dormitor) is a small subtropical fish of the eleotrididae family found in the waters of continental belize.

 

[BullittStangV8]

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.
