I think mine qualifies.
My 540/6 was also something of a sleeper; single exhaust, "yeah, it's some BMW..."![]()

V6 Accords have always been somewhat quick, so I do not qualify them as sleepers. Now if you had it with no badge and a single pipe, then I would say sleeper for sure. The 540 with just 280HP is not a sleeper by any means today, the Accord V6 almost has that much power. Do they make a S/C for the Accord by HFP?

I don't own a sleeper, but I saw a 5.0'd Fairmont on my way to work today, and it made me.

So far this thread is actually doing ok, usually TCLer's have a hard time with what a sleeper really is, and aside from the accord (?) we're doing well.
Keep it up.

isn't that the opposite of sleeper?
You are not your job. You're not how much money you have in the bank. You're not the car you drive. You're not the contents of your wallet. You're not your khakis.

My chipped T5 wagon in winter trim. I've caught a lot of people off-guard with my roof box & hubcaps.
It's a little more showy with the summer wheels, so probably doesn't count anymore.

Some call mine a sleeper.
The sound of the exhaust and the lopey idle kind of give it away though.![]()

I love threads like this where someone asks to see sleepers, and then a bunch of guys post cars that (albeit fast) look heavily modified, or obviously modified to be fast.
I'm pretty sure "sleeper" refers to a car that is generally thought of as slow. A car that has been made to be fast yet still looks slow.
