Default Sleeper ideas??? Post em' up.

I think a great sleeper for killing ricers would be a buick roadmaster sedan or wagon.

LT1 (good aftermarket ) n2o
4L60E (can be built up or swapped for a TH400/350)
Solid axle, the good 10bolt
Rear has ample room for tubs, mini-tubs and used widened stock rims and hubcaps
Ample room for multiple mufflers, resonators, etc.
Tons of stuff to take out, drop weight
Stupid *** looks

I think it would be awesome to roll up in the dumpy old Roadmaster and beat the crap out of all the lil rice boys and take their money. It would have to run mid-low 11's on the unit and mid 12's off.

Lincoln town car L series (the bigger back seat) With a forged short block really good flowing intake and heads. And say a 250 shot. Or with a KB cobra motor in it. But that would be a little more obvious when you hear it coming by you.

Mine still wins all. No one expects a town car haha. All these beat up old station wagons and stuff, you see them all the time at the drag strip, people know they can be made fast. And if your trying to race someone in it they will assume its at least kind of fast. The LS1 prius is a good one, but be a little too loud.

lol wow was it that yellow one?? i think that car has so much potential. it has all aroujnd independent suspension, multi link struts in the rear. the ergonomics are soooo good on that car, and there is some good room in the engine bay for a LS1-t56 combo!! the handling is not that bad either
