Hey!

My vote goes to the Mitsubishi Gallant VR4! To me that is the ultimate 4 door 'grocery getter' sleeper! What's yours?

Def first choice would agree the gallant VR4 is one of the best sleeper, so my second choice would be the Datsun 510, mainly for the potential to become a fast sleeper.

One of my favorite sleepers is still a clean awd swapped colt!

There is a Mirage around Dallas all beat up to hell with a 4G63 and around 700hp that puts the hurt on turbo vettes and vipers.

I still want to build a 92-93 Mirage Evolution if you know what I'm saying...

That's the ultimate sleeper.

I've seen a couple Mirages over the years at the track and they looked better suited for a soccer mom parking lot except they trapped low 11's.

Buick GNX is a great sleeper for the average person.
