Default Definition of a sleeper?

So I'm at the gym today, trying to get as huge as RARA, when I see a white civic hatch drive by. In big white letters across the windshield, it says "SLEEPER" . WTF? Now I don't know about you, but isn't that defeating the purpose? Who knows, maybe it was a joke. Thought I'd share

a front mount intake isnt rice... they give you at least 15whp. plus every kid on the block would think your turbo.

Maybe it was in fact a sleeper, but he put the banner on there to mislead you into thinking it wasnt a sleepr at all. A sleeper posing as a ricer, secretly a sleeper
