    Default The sleeper thread.

    No one can deny they dont love seeing a good sleeper roll up to ta cruise night. Old man in appearance, absolute monster in performance. I love them! Post up pics or stories of sleepers you know of.

    Here is probably the most hardcore sleeper ever built. Chevy Nova, 1100hp!

    I'd love to build another sleeper. I have planned it in my head 100's of times. It would be a HJ Kingswood, bought from a grandpa. I would slot in a big block, nicely worked over, and have a decent NOS shot on it. Maybe paint the engine in plain old chevy orange and no bling bling gear.
