Yup, here we go. It's not the hp that makes the 6-7 second cars unstreetable (in 6-7 second mode). But, let's face it, no matter how strong their supposedly indestructable bottom ends are, no one is daily driving these things with 1000+ rwhp boost levels and the required 118 octane fuel all the time! (like the rice-a-jabronies think they are 
) I'll tell what a good sleeper would be and they have already done it on some websites, is an ls1 in a grand am and make it rear wheel drive. 
I have seen this done on another website pretty cool.

Talk about sleepers... I did encounter one sleeper two years ago... I was at the gas station, and there was an early year chevy luv truck, like a 1972...... Strange thing was the sound and looks of it.... It had wide centerline wheels on the back, it was just primed grey, but it had a 350 engine supposedly stroked to 383 ci......

You should probabley stop talking about cars during Spelling class. Pay more attention at school or one day you might not beable to even own a LS1.
There are plenty off daily driven 700+rwhp Supras. Boost controllers are awsome.

LOL... If you're going to make fun of someone's spelling, you might want to spell check your posts.
And yeahhhh I don't think a supra "sleeper" would be much of a sleeper. I personally liked the ferrari sleeper metaphor, and the reverse sleeper theory.

Sleeper pronunciation (sle per) n.
1. In the automotive world - a car that is notorious for being slow or having mediocre to average performance that is made (usually with extensive engine modifications or swaps) wickedly fast to surprise other cars that aren't expecting much performance out of it. It is done much of the time with the intention of it sounding and appearing stock until the driver wishes to awake the sleeper.
A sleeper would be putting an LS1 in my mom's Avalon or like an early E36 series BMW (easier since it's RWD!).

Yes, but not 1000+ rwhp MKIVs daily driven (in 1000hp mode) on the street on pump gas (like most of the riceboyzz think they are). BTW, what is the upper boost limit (in psi) before the "indestructable" stock bottom end (block & rotating assembly) grenades on these things? 50, 60, 200 psi

You should make a sleeper supra then were the "SUPRA" t-shirt with the dyno graph that is a little line and then it swirls around at the top, with the phrase "Wana go from a roll".
