Not true. Most people make their cars semi quick, and leave them looking like absolute ****, with rattle can paint etc. That's not a sleeper at all, that's an ugly car with work done to it. A sleeper is a car that you would NOT expect, usually totally stock looking, but blisteringly fast...take for instance...an old dodge caravan with a built SRT-4 swap...THAT is a sleeper. A banged up, rattle can black EF with a GSR is just a piece of **** with a powerful swap. Because let's be honest, when you see a car that most people try to call sleepers, your first thought is 'gee I wonder what's done to that thing', a sleeper would never provoke such a thought, because you wouldn't even notice it.
