Totally agree. People are always quick to laugh and race rice patties but if those patties have 300, 400, or 500hp. Laughing is soon ceased when the rice wins.

thats kind of what i was thinking its almost cliche to try to make it look like a sleeper

rice is slowly becoming sleeper..

there's this one mexican at my school (rice, obviously) who tried to race me one day.. i was confused afterwords cuz i won, but not by much.. figured he must have D16 Vtec or an LS or somethin, only pulled away in 2nd gear @ about 50mph once i got into 6 grand (and up to 8.5 ;) )

Anything that looks totally stock. Like nothing changed at all. No corner lights. No stereo. No cut bumper ect. Hubcaps and stock ride height.

yeah, only if it was totally true, yes I've seen the video.

I like him, but some things get stretched out. He has been helpful with the AKSC flow numbers.

Them Texas stories sure do grow big!!!!!!

You're just a fast ricer, if you decide to put cheap chineese body panels and lights on your ride. Sure you might trick people, but you're just a guy with a fast clownshoe.

I've walked a late 90's mustang gt on the bottle when my galant was pretty stock. It wasn't even close, and he was sporting mis-matched body panels, and that whole gay theme. So I guess that kinda de-bunks some of your thoughts that a sleeper is the opposite of what it "used" to be. Can't get much nastier than a V8 on the bottle.

Anyways kids, like many of you have said. Leaving a car completley stock looking on the outside, and inside is what a sleeper is.

You can get in my galant and not even know it is turbocharged, etc...

It's a sleeper because you greatly doubt how fast it is.

I do prefer the stock sleeper look though. Bonus points if it looks the same with the hood popped and doors/trunk open.
