Default World's Best Sleepers (Pics)

Okay, Lets see 'em. Some of your favorite "sleepers."
....a Sleeper is generally a fast vehicle that you wouldn't
expect to be fast.

Hot Damn....on pump gas even.


The roll cage and aggressive tires give away that this might not be grandma's Ford Fairmont


Focus RS8, 420HP V8 RWD Focus


The "other" Cobra. Sunbeam Tiger


This van is legendary, wood panel and all.
