And any 4door SUV that can easily humble a Ferrari is a pretty good case for being a sleeper I suppose. Up for debate.

Really though, sleepers don't even have to all be fast....just faster than it looks and faster than you'd expect. Here's a Geo Metro that pulls low 16's capabale of 15's. Not that fast, but fast enough to humble plenty of car owners here on TR. Especially when you consider a stock Metro pulls 18 sec in 0-60.
YouTube - Turbo Geo Metro dragstrip (Seriously)

And...here is a fast 9 sec. Geo (powered by GNX motor.) the tubbed rear gives it away though.
YouTube - 9 second geo metro

I don't think that a true sleeper has any exterior modifcations, other than performance tires. Thats just my view on it.

BTW BFRIF, that GIF is so fuck up, hahaha.
