Alright, lets hear what you think was the best factory-stock sleeper to ever exist. And for fun, list a sleeper that youve seen (modified) that would qualify as a sleeper.

I think the biggest sleeper from the factory was the Dodge Omni GLH. I wonder how many people got their doors sucked off by one of those, then proceeded to scratch their heads and say "huh?"


One sleeper I thought was incredible was a Civic hatchback that ran around town a few years ago. It had about 4-5 different colored panels and rust, but had a turbocharged H22 Prelude motor. Rumor has it that he ran mid 11s with that junkbox. lol

I slept in the back of a Chevette once.

But it wasn't very comfortable at all.

Fast, yes. Sleepers? Kinda. The body kit, lowered stance, and wider tires with different rims kinda gave em away.

I've seen people take STIs and remove the extra bodywork so they look like regular Imprezas - great sleeper cars. As well, people take Legacy GTs and tunes them with a Cobb performance chip - they are great sleepers as well.
