I think sleepers are cool. Stock color, dog dish hub-caps, bad *** motor, quiet exhaust.
Quick story, coming back from the track one night in my old black 02 vert. in sig. Pulled up to a stop light (6-lane road) with a yellow Vett. 4-door grandma car pulled up to my left w/4 kids in it. Light turned, I start pulling vett admiring the disgust on his face when the 4-door blows past us both like we're sittin still. I have no idea what motor or how much nitrous that thing had, but I was like , I thought it was AWESOME!!

Sleepers are awesome, but a 4 door would not be my choice. 4 doors just don't look right to me.

This thing is fridge white,blue interior,full hub caps. currently has a straight 6/pg auto. 88,000 miles. Was my grandmothers car. sat in a barn for just over 13 yrs after she passed and it was finally given to me. I got it running. engine sounds pretty good and seems to shift out ok. just had a crazy thought of a hot engine, auto, and a posi rear. quiet exhaust and sticky tires. maybe i should leave it as is but was just tossing around some crazy ideas of ruining some peoples day on the street or track, lol.....
