I wouldn't call my my old sol a sleeper . but over 6 years ago I had an H22 in this . A lot of ppl laughed at it till they were behind it . then they wanted to talk. it was not common back then when b16's were the thing . and gsr's were expensive. next one was a sohc turbo that was in just as good cosmetics as this one The tachometer wasn't in the blue one very long .

I built up my Vette as sleeper as I could get away with. 84 with the crossfire, so everyone expects the stock 200hp engine. I've got a cheap fake wood grain kit in the interior, but that will go away once I get a dash panel that isn't scratched to all high hell like mine is/was. Pop the hood, and except for the coil it doesn't disappoint expectations. So it's a pretty good sleeper... until you start the engine.

Here it was a couple of weeks ago. Still 732whp and running 10's.

This is the best picture I have found of it, which is very small...but you get the idea.
