The Sleeper car was born in an era where style wasn't everything, but power meant everything. While appearing to be a standard or neglected car, internally they are modified to have higher performance levels, typically referred to as "all go and no show." Some vehicle owners create sleepers by swapping more powerful engines or making other performance modifications, like adding supercharging or turbocharging, leaving the external appearance as it came from the factory. Sometimes hints of the car's true nature are visible: wider tires, a lower stance, or a different engine tone or exhaust note. If you built your own sleeper car, what would it be?

Own a few. None are race cars but they all put lenghts on cars with 2 more cylinders so its fun. Because of that a sleeper is probably my favorite kind of build.
Sleepers are awesome, and my family has one as a DD...2018 Ford Flex Limited, AWD, 3.5L EcoBoost (which replaced the 2011 Flex EB we had before it). These cars are a Taurus SHO with a wagon body, and are surprisingly pretty quick and nimble for their size and weight. With good aftermarket tires and a couple of other upgrades, our lunchbox on wheels is able to embarrass other crossovers, without breaking the bank...

There's no such thing as a sleeper car to a car enthusiast just appreciation for a well-built car
Great video! I just pick myself up a 2017 Chevy SS (Holden Commodore) with 20k super charged with 720whp.
As someone who also lives in a small dead town in Wisconsin, I felt this on a whole other level 😩 Snow Gang ✊🏻❄️
Day 7 of asking for a “So You Want A Cobalt SS”
Wtf wants a Cobalt Super Slow 🤣😂
Mine is pushing 330 whp on just bolt ons and a tune. Super sleeper
@@user-zk5ps5ms1s It goes faster around the nurburgring than a R34 Gtr
@@user-zk5ps5ms1s they are bargains for the performance. No Lift Shift, Factory Boost Gauge, Brembo Brakes and some even had Recaro seats all for under 25k new. Now you can get them for under 10k. They are seriously fast and can push lots of power easily
It’s an underrated car. The 2.0 turbo ecotec is a really good motor. I have a 2008 HHR SS with some bolt ons (getting a tune soon). It has the same engine and runs like a champ.
So you want a Mazdaspeed 6
I've been asking for forever. I love my speed6
I was thinking the same. The speed 6 is the ultimate sleeper

Apparently you can turn caprice ppv into the utes. More aussie, less money
Love that you brought up the 94-96 Impala as a sleeper. You should do a video on just them. Cuz I'm a fan of that year of the first muscle car
"BEST MF THUMBNAIL EVER!" :D .. Owner of one of them beaut's.. About as sleeper as it can get, then you hear that LS3 blow past ya :0
Love the car but I hate to say this. Most definitely not a sleeper for almost all car guys/gals. Not only are they mildly aggressive but most know what lies beneath the hood of that small sized sedan and the tuning possibilities of the stock motor/setup. You could fool some cocky stock 5.0 or camaro owner but if they’re a real car person they’l know wassup
Far from a sleeper lol
@@slumygoat Yep, my dad says his looks just like any other regular Chevy sedan but it’s bright red and the hood has some aggressive lines and there are mildly sporty design cues across the car. Definitely not a sleeper IMO. Fun? Oh yeah, definitely!
@@NatedoGP Yes sir
The G8 (its older brother) looks more aggressive imo. Id rather get the rare GXP LS3 than a Malibu.
😂 I’m so glad u covered the Houston beltway, I drive on that all the time and there’s so much road rage. 😂 love you fitment industries.
I had an '87 ( that's in the 1900's ) Buick Regal T type LC. It was a GNX except, it was Blue and had a big chrome grille with all the chrome badges and sim/con top. It was great fun to beat down pretty much anything... as long as I could keep the tires from burning down to the rims!
Older Australian commodore cop cars (bt1) are perfect examples, they were the entry level body and styling but with the performance of the top model, with the v8, bigger breaks, stiffer suspension etc. etc. very sought after down under!!
Just bought a 2018 Fusion Sport. love it but it needs a few tweaks to be perfect
I'm a simple man. I see a chevy SS in the thumbnail, I click on the video 👌
It’s a Holden first and foremost 💯
Right! G8 😎
Wisconsin gang where u at. Milwaukee County here

I've got one for ya! Just stay with me for 2 seconds here. Factory supercharged v6 that you could own for like under 3k. Your grandma's bubble buick from the late 90s early 2000s. The buick park Avenue. Arguably one of the best sleepers out there. The 3800 is a more than proven v6 while it is front wheel drive you can also find this same engine (not supercharged) in some of the Camaros in the same time period. Those can be supercharged with junkyard heads and a modified supercharger or have one shipped up from the buys down under cause their holdens 3.8 had a supercharger. There is also a lot of aftermarket support for these engines where you can get performance cams and upgraded springs and lifters. I've even seen turbo kits for the non supercharged variant if that's your thing. These engines are also plentiful. At my local large pick n pull place I can easily find 20+ cars with the 3800 in it and occasionally the supercharged one so there's no worries about blowing it up. Literally this was in almost every gm car in the late 90s
I already own one, a tbss aka a corvette suv and I love here.
“So you want a 2nd gen Lexus IS”
Yeeeeessss
Everyone sleeps on us 😔
SSleeper Gang all the way.! For sure its a conversation starter for people who have no idea what/s under the hood
I’ve been waiting for this video for years. My heart is happy
Edit: I jumped the gun an saw the ss on the thumbnail an got excited 🤧 dedicated ss video 😫
Damn I love me a good manual trans sleeper sedan/wagon
I currently own a 2004 Volvo S60 2.5t that I'm looking to make into a sleeper, and I can tell you personally that a big problem of trying to build a sleeper is a lack of aftermarket support as your vehicle isn't normally modified like you're trying to do so the money isn't there for the big aftermarket companies.
Wish I never sold it but I used to own a 1983 E28 BMW which had a 500hp RB30 setup with all the goodies, looked stock apart from the wheels. Much fun was had :)
Thanks for the AOT spoiler
Just bought my dream sleeper 8 months ago! 2008 Legacy Spec B!!!! Actually just popped out the motor to finish with the "Stage 2" Almost 100% stock outside too 😎 If you're lookin for a fun car to add to your channels videos hit me up! It's a blast to drive! "When it works..."
Sleepers has always been the best, just show up too any meet, find the snob guy that keeps bragging & you can be everyone’s hero by shuting his ass up XD
@9:30 Sleeper car Chevy SS? But without the sleeper car price. Used these things go for over $42K!!!
Thanks for mentioning the Subaru Legacy. Dreams!
A sleeper is worth it especially if you live in a country like Australia that has strict car modification laws. my 96 integra is a sleeper and cops don't bat an eye because I never fixed the faded paint and scratches as well as the dents.
I've got a 2005 scion xb and im indecisive as to keep it reliable or dump all my money into it. even if i did dump cash idk what exactly to buy cause there's not a huge aftermarket scene for my car. I kinda want to start with a better sound system and some cosmetics. thoughts?
All I drive sleepers. My supercharged Lexus is250 with 450hp. MY Chevy SS with 1400hp. All my other care are fun decently fast daily. Next is a Durango Hellcat or Ram TRX Hellcat or CT5V blackwing
I soo love the music of the intro for these videos. But you know what can be a good sleeper. A Honda CR-Z 👀
Sleeper are fun and great daily drivers. I know plenty of sleepers that sound stock to this day.
Hello everyone, Is an 08 forester good for a build? Its not an xt but its in really really good condition and like 3,500, I want to make it a sleeper but im not sure if its worth it. Thoughts?
I love my MS6. Just looks like a normal 4 door sedan, but it hauls ass and handles really well, especially given its weight.
After driving a slightly modified G and a stock Altima. An SS or G8 would be my ideal next car
Legacy B4 RSK best awd sleeper if it runs. New Zealanders, Aussies and Canadians know what talking about
I’ve got a 2006 S60R and let me tell you, every “small” fix isn’t small. Everything is over complicated and fucking expensive as hell. It is a cool car though...
All the Rs just suck money from the owners pockets. I’ve got 13k in my 98 v70R in just the last 8 months
Ford Taurus sho is hands down the best American sleeper. I say this because the new caddy’s with twin turbo v6 and awd still cost to much used for under a 15k sleeper budget. Like slap a 1000$ fuel pump on there and you will be maxing them turbos out!
Lincoln Continental tho.... Same motor, more grandpappy
@@Acrimoniousbear1 no that has the 3.0 tt and it’s freaking expensive asf man 😬 did u not read the under a 15k budget part 😅.
i came up with an idea a tine trial around the houston beltway

The skoda octavia rs is pretty sleeper. Look like a typical sedan but packs a vw golf gti engine
Im making my awd 2002 s60 a sleeper. Its all beat up and ima drift stich the bumper, hiddden black fmic, big turbo with stock exhaust and cutout
I'm glad that MAZDASPEED 6 was there. Yes they have speed in the name, but no one really notices that anyways. Plus debadge very common
Is it possible to make a 97 tercel a sleeper? Its my first car with 67k on her. She's really mint on the outside, but I feel she deserves some hp. And does anyone know if there is a place that will help me find out if I can engine swap said car? Or ideas to increase hp? Any help is appreciated, I'm trying to get into doing things on cars and learn. Thank you!

This guy makes me so engaged in the video i dont want to leave, i dont want it to end...
That Halo reference was on point.
When you wish you could say you have a sleeper but It's an econobox. So You Want a Suzuki Kizashi. I love you.
I found a ratty 05legacy with about 1100hp keeping a top mount. It rides under the radar but the heat soak is crazy you got maybe 2 passes if it's cool outside.
those intro edits r cold asff
I would like to to think my S60 is a sleeper, but could have more power though. I guess I will eventually have to “stage 4 it”. I would love to get my hands on a 2.4 T5 (B5244T5) top for it with VVT on both cams and a bigger turbo and some bigger injectors. I once had a Porsche Macan S pull up next to me a stop light, he engaged launch control (i heard it) and i was like great let’s see how my (at the time stock low pressure turbo, with a manual M56 stacks up), it was 340Hk, PDK and AWD against 200Hk, 5 speed manual, FWD with 3 people in the car, in the wet, he had only a car length on me. The Porsche guy looked shocked that my 20 year old Volvo managed to keep up, as he let of and looked over to switch in to my lane, i braked lightly as i had just prior ran out of 2nd gear and banning the red limiter. Wonder who close I could get now that the S60 is tuned 250Hk with 410Nm (stock it had 200Hk 285Nm), I’m considering down badging it just to Mess with people....
One of the best videos yet love these videos
Alex doesn't know the joy of owning a V70R, they're nowhere near as unreliable as people claim they are if I'm honest.. I owned mine for 6 years and did extensive modification to it to the tune of putting down 430 awhp and 480 ft lbs of torque, it walked just about everything on the road in my area aside from a McLaren 570S that I ran into on the highway coming back from work one day. The truth of the matter is that no matter what you choose to be your sleeper car you have to pick the car that you want. You can't just want a sleeper car because you think it would be fun to mod and have a unsuspecting looking car that's fast, you have to live for sleeper cars. Most everyone I know who owns a sleeper dailies that car, it goes with the territory of owning a car of that era.
I’d totally buy the wheels you guys make but shipping car parts to the Bahamas is very expensive and including weight, size of boxes and tax 65% of car parts is too much
Hahah I loved my little sleeper Saturn! It had 305HP to the front wheels and a super charger😂 Now I got a sleeper 335i four door making 600HP
I live the sleeper car life. Passat W8 wagon. Golf Sportwagen w/4Motion with a Golf R turbo swap. One sounds like Chewbacca the other hurts feelings at stoplights.
my ideal sleeper is my g37x sedan, just need some spinny boys and a quiet performance exhaust to complete my v8 killer dream
