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!



See the build here: http://www.w2wpowertrain.com/t-novabuild-2.aspx

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.

Yeah plenty of rippers out there...

Lots of late model stuff probably qualifies (turbo LS1 stuff) but cant beat grumpy big cube stockers!

Love em.
