New breed of sleeper
 

I'm sure tons of people have thought of this, but I was thinking a while ago that a good sleeper could be a car that looks ricey instead of the common stock sleeper look. I dunno...just thought I'd share my thoughts :P

Re:New breed of sleeper
 

yep, thought of that one.
not that it should be done tho.
unless you're talking campy rice.
Then it would be really funny to out run other cars.

Re:New breed of sleeper
 

costs too much money to "rice" out a car....i still think the newer Saab 900's are sleepers and a half. anyone with half a brain could make those run 13's all day and no one would expect it. People would just think you're driving your daddy's car.

Re:New breed of sleeper
 

you would just look retarded. lame ::)

Re:New breed of sleeper
 

I don't know what it is lately, but I keep agreeing with you. Maybe it's because I'm sick? ???

Re:New breed of sleeper
 

watched the fast and the furious last night, did we?

Re:New breed of sleeper
 

As a matter of fact...just kidding, I hate that movie

Re:New breed of sleeper
 

interesting thought. its funny how people make there car ricey to look fast. and now people make it ricey to look slow.

Re:New breed of sleeper
 

I think ricey cars that are fast are ok in my book couse the speed/power offsets the rice.Its like talking ---- and backing it up.I would die of shame :-[ if I got my ass handed to me by a car with a black widow kit,alteezas,L.E.D hood squirters,and a huge APC sticker on the window.

Re:New breed of sleeper
 

I thought of this a while back, and I am not saying that I was the original person to think of this, but the ultimate sleeper is either a nissan sentra with daytons and a huge and a screw on muffler tip with a fully built turbo nitrous engine pushing like 30 psi and making 500 some horses.


who has saw the video of "the caravan">? lol
thats some good ---- right there.,

Re:New breed of sleeper
 

I've thought of that same thing. I have not done one other thing to my car in addition to the turbo and exhaust. No rims, no bodykit, no clear corners nothing. I built it with one purpose, to pick on ricers and mustangs/camaros. But I have wondered myself if I could have a little bit more fun if I got some neon and those led squirters....then I came to my senses and realized I don't want that ---- fast car or not!!!
BTW, I do need to get some pics posted of my completed kit sometime.

Two words...Prom....Dress

Re:New breed of sleeper
 

My additional thoughts. $1000 for body kit and new paint. $500+ for new rims. $100000000 for various stickers and JDM products. That is like a full engine build or a nice turbo setup. I say instead of putting the effort forth in ricing your car out to make it look like a sleeper....how bout spending the money on your engine and making it even more kick ass? Personally i think a car should be stock except for some very tasteful rims that are about 15"(personally i will never buy rims for a honda) and some coilovers to lower it for a lil better handling...otherwise im the bodykit nazi and i say they suck -------. I've driven around for nearly a year w/ a busted up door and i dont plan on fixing it. body work and paint costs too much money >:(

I like show cars, they have their place. but going fast is rarely one of them. there is a 89 sentra s-er with a FR Sr20det on a lot of boost, and a 75shot that comes to my street races. he's running mid 10's he got hit up by a viper gts two sundays ago and beat him by 6-8 cars. it was fantastic.

the ultimate sleeper car would be an 83 VW golf, with a VR6 or corrado G60 swap and about 30 PSI, maybe a bit of a shot on top of that. the mounts are already there, and there is room in those wheelwells for some fairly wide drag radials. plus, that that kind of boost you'd be running an air to water intercooler anyway, so you wouldn't necessarily have a large front mount. the dash already has a crevice just under the glove box big enough for guages. and it doesn't weigh a damn thing. not to mention that you can use porshe suspension with no modification. you'd run sub 10's if you could get traction.

Re:New breed of sleeper
 

When I get my turbo setup finished, I have a friend who stole an apc sticker... he actually wanted it ::).. HAHAHA. well i am going to put that in the window with some scotch tape..that and some spinner hubs with the original honda 14s. maybe a couple of bullet hole stickers too. and cant forget the fast and furious air freshner... you know that could be false advertising... that air freshner is neither fast nor furious.. hmmm..

as it is, with the n/a civic, i would pull up to stock v6 mustangs that think they have something special and say... "hey, mustang... right? my mom just bought me this car after we watched The fast and the furious last night. she says i have to take it slow though, cause its supa fast!! :)"

on another note, i have pulled up to my friends rex, (knowing i would get beat) and said "nice car... whats the retail on one of those?"

Re:New breed of sleeper
 

Hey Mary, Does the reference to the prom dress mean you get alot of attention wearing it or that he should wear one to get attention. I know you would and I know he would but I think he would get beat up and you would get hit on.

Re:New breed of sleeper
 

hey when girls wear prom dresses they usually give it up leter that night.. are you trying to tell us (I hope its me) something.

Re:New breed of sleeper
 

Hey Rollmodel you aren't from SC are you? I saw the exact car. To make things worse he flies up on my bumper like he gonna give me a run. I just left it in third spooled up to 9 psi and watched him shrink. And as for the v6 mustangs and your stock civic were they autos? When I was NA, I had the z6 in my 95 cx...ran 9.8 1/8th times stock. I saw several v6 mustangs run 9.5ish times stock too. The v6s have better gearing, almost identical to SI gearing. Just a thought a few things about your post caught my attention sorry.

Re:New breed of sleeper
 

my friends doin that in his 1g laser. (eclipse/talon). once he finihses up rebuilding his whole motor and all the upgrades and such, hes just gunna primer it and throw a big aluminum wing on there until he gets his kit next winter. and of course we're gunna add some "type r" stickers just to rellllly make it scream rice. haha. that'll be funny seeing moostang gt's and stock coberas drop like flys after revving at him. 8)

Re:New breed of sleeper
 

I live in northern ohio (sandusky... cedar point area).
my car is also in the driveway... no oil line to the turbo yet :(

Oh, I beat standard or auto v6 mustangs.. My car was not stock when I ran them. I had i/h/e, short throw, etc.. but i was running high 15s.

Re:New breed of sleeper
 

I couldn't drive a riced out car even if it was fast. I hate that ----. I say just buy a older vw golf and slap a t88 on that bitch.

Re:New breed of sleeper
 

ohh yeah, no ----. the v6 stangs a ------ jokes. id woop the ---- outa them all the time b4 the turbo! they are seriosuly a waste of a "performace" car. haha, this one clown in one i raced thought hed tear me up since he had i/ex/h. at that time i think i had i/ex/shift kit (im auto, and so was he) and you know how stang boys are. thinkin they dominate all. my one dude was like hey wanna race him (me). hes like whats he got. im like a cavalier. hes like smerked like he was bout to laugh and was like hell yeah. yeah, so we raced and i burned him up bad. he ended up wanting to sell his car, lmao. funniest race i swear. afterwards hes liek i wanna rematch in a few months. im like in a few months ill be turbo (this was maybe 4 months ago) and you aint catchin me then.... wonder if he'll still want that rematch next time he sees me ;D ....

Re:New breed of sleeper
 

Yeah, i dont understand why people buy the v6s and think that since they have the name they must be the greatest. That is so common around my old high school it isnt funny. Not only that so many others do the same.

Side note: i saw a ford tempo today (now these were crap cars from the factory) it had a "performance" grill, and some "performance" white vinal on the tail lights. They cut circles for the lights... The car is red. ::)

There seem to be more and more of that breed of people.. some day they will dominate all.. :o
