Cars you wouldn't have expected to be fast...
 
I am looking to round up a list of cars that the average person never expected to be fast... a sleeper I guess you could say. The list will be comprised of cars that can be made (with not a ton of money) or already are fast, but not really expected to be from the average persons perspective. Fast is defined by the surprise of the opponent...

Like this car for example:

A Volvo 850...

Lets see what you got.

Not sure if mine could be considered a sleeper according to you guys..

My malibu might have qualified if it still looked stock..

But besides the malibu and Evo, I have this older crown victoria, former cop car.. I had always toyed with the idea of building up a motor and either supercharging or twin turbo.. That is what I'd consider a sleeper.. Its surprisingly light for its size, and shares alot with the same vintage mustangs in the front-end.

Yea a twin turbo crown vic.... that is a sleeper!! I say do it.
