Give me names of a sleeper car

[mikomac]

any volunteers?

be specific in brand/model.

TIA

A stock Subaru STI?

[uls]

first, linawin natin kung ano ang sleeper

a car that has performance mods but looks stock

ginalaw AFTER nabili

if you buy a car that's already high performance from the factory, it's not a sleeper

coz everyone knows it's built that way (like STI, Evo etc)

kaya sleeper tawag kasi nobody knows kinalikot pala, di halata from the outside it is faster than stock

until the driver steps on the gas

[uls]

example:

a corolla that looks stock, pero napalitan ng 4A-GE black top ang makina

[mazingerZ]

VW Golf GTI, Mini Cooper S, Focus RS, Lynx RS, to name a few

[jave]

The perfect example of sleeper in Top Gear Season 16, episode 2.

A seemingly innocent, all-stock Ford Transit van, with suspicious lowered suspension and sport tires.

And a Jaguar XJ220 engine.

I would dearly love to see that van smoke some rice farmers.

MS with open type KNN filter and 265x70r16 tires mated to a pajero ralliart rims. Mukhang stock pero vs a stock MS of the same kind..., iiwan sa biritan. Tama ba? hehe

[ghosthunter]

VW Golf GTI, Mini Cooper S, Focus RS, Lynx RS, to name a few

I wouldn't really place the LYNX RS in the list.

Driving it fast can result in a blown engine or damaged tranny.

How much of a "sleeper" do you want? ... factory stock or modified?

Sleeper cars are usually modified internally while externally is usually left untouched.

Example, Nissan Sentra Super Saloon with a SR20DET motor producing over 210hp, coil-over suspension set to stock height and 15" stock Nissan wheels with ADVAN tires.

Corolla 1.3L Turbo ( 4EFTE ) - but somehow, that rectangle aluminum that peeks through the bumper gives you a little hint of what's inside the hood.

4AGE ST/BT Corolla

3SGE ( 2.0L ) Corolla - May alam ako. Ex-taxi, white pa and black bumpers na may ganitong engine.

A Lancer with a 4G63 engine.

A Nissan with a SR20DET engine ^ like GH's ... :naughty2:

CASA cars ?

Subaru Forester XT. Looks are bland. But very powerful.

Ford Focus TDCi, boring looks. Fast car.

Hyundai Accent. Mukhang taxi, but impressive torque.

Well, just an example lang. I couldn't afford it if I tried having one setup.

The one I had only had a SR20DE motor dynoed at slightly over 150whp (roughly 175-180hp) and it was fast and fun.

Ah hindi ba DET. Akala ko DET yung sayo. And I did remember reading one of your/niky's posts that DET's are harder to maintain as compared to DE's ? Mhmm, probably because of it being a turbo rather than an NA ?

180hp is still 180hp. :naughty2: Can eat an SiR, alive.

Ford escort cosworth edition!

para sa akin ang isang sleeper car talaga, ang simple pero halimaw na sasakyan ni manong taxi driver : Hyundai Accent CRDi

+1! based on experience, IMO, nothing beats a fully floored Accent Crdi driven by a fierced manong taxi driver as if there is no tomorrow. You could even hear the engine howling.....Scary!

I've seen an EVO being outrunned by an Accent in a highway same gaining for speed but the accent still got it =)

stock ones. like Lancer EX.?

[mikomac]

i've seen 2 old kia prides with FORD Badge and Fiesta Badges at Q.ave. stopped for the red light.... at green. started to run fast and sound like a 4age and the other one has a turbo. maybe 4efte? (not surely but sounded like a toyota roar)

natulala lang ako after nun. state of shock ika nga.

Most likely you read them wrong, must be Ford Festiva, which shares the same chassis and almost similar body with the Kia Pride and Mazda 121.

and sound like a 4age and the other one has a turbo. maybe 4efte? (not surely but sounded like a toyota roar)

I understand identifying turbocharged engines by hearing the blow off (even non-turbos may have them), but how would you specifically know a Toyota roar?

Most of those sleeper Kias and Charades I know have Mazda and Ford engines ... and one with an SR20DE.

I've watched a legal drag racing and slalom ones. so maybe I still have the Identification of a toyota roar.

but you know whats the honda roar is... so vice versa to the toyota

stock ones. like Lancer EX.?

Yes, but the Lancer EX looks pretty aggressive as stock.

Take my EX as an example. Externally it looks pretty much like a stock Lancer EX GLS except for the 18 inch EX-GTA wheels. Under the skin, the suspension was already upgraded with coil-overs & adjustable shocks, the engine tuned with piggyback ECU, drop-in airfilter and performance headers. The ride height is only slightly lower than stock to retain a stock-like look.

Other Lancer EX units have had more extensive upgrades including turbochargers resulting in over 200hp.
