Ed without a doubt the ultimate sleeper. As impressive as it is a hidden fogger and some drag radials would make it a serious money taker. Only rules in sleepers is there isn't any.

On board halon systen and fuel cell Have yet to run it on the track, have only had it running for two weeks now.
So I feel that this is a sleeper
i feel it is kinda not...bright red,spoilers,white letters,stripes,and a car that everyone is expecting to be fast,i would feel soooo much better being beat by your car,than a clapped out,puke green nova,sorry...and IF that car ever runs below 10,s...i would be suprised...pretty car though.

why does a car have to look like a POS to be a sleeper? FAST cars are sleepers... a really nice car like the black on above is too.

There are all kinds of sleepers. Anything that is faster than it appears is a sleeper in my opinion shiny, muscle car, compact, sports car, four door, they all can be sleepers.

The 99 Camaro that averaged 9.6 on Drag week had 2nd place covered by 7 tenths, and 3rd place by a second and a half! Very well scienced out car, and an awesome accomplishment. That's not a benchmark to denigrate a power-adder car's performance...
sure it does! That says to me that there was lack of proper competition in BB/NA. There was the 91 Mustang that ran low 9's but didnt finish. Then there where 3 cars in SB/NA running mid 10's. That's within a little more than a half a second of the Nova that not only has a big block but two turbos!?!?
There are three cars of members on this forum alone (that i can think of) that have "streetable" rides that can run high 9's without a power adder. One has already posted in this thread.

No, it doesn't run 9's and this board is tough to impress, but I've been around long enough to know that 11 second streetcars don't grow on trees, and with no power adders I'm pretty confident in my sleeper status.
You have a really nice car! Although I can think of at least a half dozen 11 second street cars within a 15 mile radius of me right now… And those are just the normally aspirated Mopars. Heck, the kid across the street (literally) has a supercharged 4.7L Mustang that has gone high 11’s.
I wouldn’t consider any of them “sleepers”, though.
I'd call this belvedere a sleeper....even more so if it was a 4 door....or if it had a 318 looking 408.....
