Came across a nasty Z06 Not a kill but, tonight while dropping off my car to get my throw out bearing replaced, I came across the sweetest Z06 I've personally seen. It pulled out in front of me and as I approached I noticed the flames. It was white with blueish flames but only a few around the fender wells and front bumper. I gave a rev and he replied. It appeared all he had was exhaust. I was thinking to myself this guy is in for a surprise....
Well with the cars on the street there was no chance for a run. I did run through second and so did he. Now for the real surprise....as he came up beside me I thought I heard a blower. We hit a light and I asked if that was a whistle I heard. He said yeah, maybe a small one, lol. After talking with him he informs me he has a 383 with a procharger. I couldn't hear a cam so I'm not sure how aggressive his setup was but regardless, he did it right. His car looked great and had plenty of power

By that defination my sisters 93 4 banger Camry could be a sleeper.
Any car can be a sleeper man, I would have picked something better than a Corvette as a description of one.

Man I dont get to meet anyone on the streets like you'll do. That sucks for me. I have a torn ACL on my left leg, so my dad has been driving my car. He even got a race on the street, (my dad really doesnt like drag racing) <---- thats what he says. Stop at a light and he took off on a black Z28 with a nice exhaust. What kind of bad luck do I have??? But man i think you'll are lucky. But take care, cause on the street nothing is never safe.

I think he still lives in Clear Lake, nice car.
I see him on Egret bay off Nasa Rd all the time. That Z06 is tough looking and soundslike a beast.
I know your car can run so that would be a nice race.

Do you mean the pewter one in La Porte? I've ran him twice and won. The first time I was on a single fogger with my old motor and after a couple of gears my intake exploded, lol. He was nice enough to follow me home.

A sleeper would be a car that is fast when you wouldn't expect it to be. Often something bland and mundane. If you think a Corvette fits this decription then ho hum....
