Low 13's on bobo street tires would beat alot of shit on the street..A sleeper in my opinion dont have to be a 10 second car just something that you would think is slow or stock but isnt
My friend Chuck had a 86 Integra that was the shittest thing ever.Exhaust falling off paint all faded stock wheels and height.And he is a older guy that you would think bought the car at a yard sale just for something to drive.But the car ran 12's in its prime and took ALOT of people by surprise...Funny shit imo and thats a sleeper.

I guess this qualifies as a sleeper. In the 70's this little BRE (Brock Racing Enterprises) Datsun 510 was tearing it up in the SCCA Trans-Am racing series, going toe to toe with some big V8 pony cars.

I define a sleeper as a car that does not look fast, and is faster than it looks. That automatically rules out sports cars (they are designed to look fast), unless you deliberately made it look slow. For example: the only kind of mustang I would think is slightly a sleeper would be a fast one that was converted to look like a slow as balls V6 mustang.
I think my car is a sleeper. 4 door Cadillac with an LS6. It looked like more of a sleeper when I had the stock silver painted wheels.
Some other good sleepers are the: Taurus SHO, Ford Festivas with turbo mazda 323 swaps, the turbo mazda 323, and the supercharged Buick regals (I think that is model).

I'd say a sleeper is any car that is unexpectedly fast. Doesn't have to be Lamborghini fast. Just faster than is should be.
And sports cars could be sleepers too. If you have, lets say...a C4 vette that can slaughter a Ferrari Enzo, but it looks like a stock Vette....that would be a sleeper.
Or if you have a Yugo that does mid 14's. That time might be slow to you, but it's faster than you'd expect a Yugo to be, so that's a sleeper too.
Enough talk. Here's another:
1929 Ford Model-A with 250 HP Cosworth Rally Engine!
250 HP 2.0-liter, 4-cylinder powertrain from a Ford Escort BDA Cosworth Group 4 Rally Car! The rally-powered Model-A can go from 0 to 62 mph in just 5,0 sec while it achieves a top speed of 124 mph.
