This one probably blurs the sleeper line, but the Ford Festiva SHOgun is a pretty badass little machine. SHO Taurus motor transversly mounted in the rear and RWD in a light weight package = fast and fun.

Even Jay Leno has been seen terrorizing Southern California in one.

I think I or someone already said the Focus RS8 (V8 powered Focus) but here it is again.
Clean shot of the motor. Total sleeper.

2.0 turbo and AWD from an Eclipse in a plain jane '93 Mirage. It's a poor man's EVO.

Damn you're clever !!

For that matter here is a twin turbo 63 pontiac tempest with almost 1500 HP. Take note to how even the engine bay looks stock for what it is, and the interior as well minus a set of gauges in the dash. Notice how nicely everything is tucked in the trunk?

Hahaha 1500hp and only a lap belt! That's truely an old school death machine. B effin A
