What a sleeper is or isn't is debateable, I guess. But for purposes here I just want to see some stock-looking, ball-busting thirdgens. C'mon, Horsefly, let's see that bad boy

Hey
I dont have a ball buster.
BUT one day I hope to bust a few ***** .

James my car is a slowpoke in comparision,
The theory of relativity applies here. I mean I can smoke
most Corollas.
Last week a Bmw came after me and side swipped my car a bit that was one crazy citizen.
As soon as he heard my exhaust tone get louder he came after me. Now he must of got his ***** busted by someone on this board and he wanted some revenge I guess.

The dream continues. I have a fast Camaro when I am sleeping.
I guess I am the sleeper afterall.

I wonder if the bling bling coffee can imports are considered anti-sleepers? They look fast but are slow...

Thanks, I've been trying to keep it that way. Makes it alot easier to just pick and choose who you want to race with on 'Street Legal' nights at the track. Alot fewer people will turn you down

Very true. I also think that the older Z28s, and all the SCs look far less indimidating than the IROCs and RSs. Just in the stance alone it doesn't look as fast.

Thats only NA u should see it on spray

Topics like this can be very fun and lame at the same time because of one persons view on he subject, i have an aftermarket hood, therefore i dont count.. I also tinted my windows, thats not stock, now i really dont count
