Currently stock appearance with hub caps. Something that looks like it needs to be in a junkyard with all the rust holes forming.

I see in the future a sleeper will be defined as having apc stickers, neons, etc. Knowing good and well I would be caught off guard with a ricer having b18c1 running 10 pounds of boost.

Sleeper = Absouletly stock with no exterior modifications and only engine work. Such as stock muffler, stock suspension, stock wheels and so on and so on. And them BAM! GSR engine or what ever is underneath the hood.

Something that looks like it just came off the lot. I think it has to look like those cars you see old folks driving. No exhaust, no tinted windows and absolutely no stickers. You can't have rims either it has to be hubcaps, not lowered....you guys get my point. Like Bauley's green civic now that is a sleeper....

My definition of a sleeper...is just that, someone who is asleep. I was "a sleeper" about 4 hours ago.

Yeah I think the new definition of a sleeper is a very Ricey car. I allready get ppl that think my car is slow just cause I painted the inner casings of my headlights and my car isnt dropped. ppl are shocked when I pull on them with my built and turbo'd B18c5 lol.

WE SAW THEM THE FIRST TIME!!!

To me the perfect sleeper is a foxbody mustang 5.0 with flowmasters. They all sound almost exactly the same whether they run 10 seconds or 10 minutes.

My definition would be stock looking on the outside, but with alot of engine work done. It would be a car that you see on the road and think "HAHA, this guy in his stock civic wants to race me." Then you run and discover he's got a HUGE turbo and built engine under the hood.

My definition of a sleeper you ask?
How about a 1981 BMW 320i painted graphite metallic with a grey passneger door, rust all over it and a large dent in the driver door. Oh and did I mention that the muffler is held up by a coat hanger because someone jumped on it?

BTW this car ran a 14.8 on goodyear club tires(for those that don't know, shittiest tires EVAR)
