Can a car like a Corvette ever be a sleeper? Or any sports car for that matter?

You definitely can't have a sleeper w/ a license plate that says 500HPZ06 .

hey Brian, I posted over there..

I do not think a Vette can be a sleeper. If you know vette's well, then you can assume a mid 70's vette is only a 170HP slug but can have a 383 stroker in it... But C5 vette's are fast in stock form, even auto's

I guess a C5 can be a sleeper if it is out looking for F40's or Vipers to run against....LOL

Car is running good, Have not dynoed it yet, I am just over the 500 miles from breaking in the clutch... Car is crazy fast though... Should be a 11 Second car with a 13 second driver...

You going to the MD track rental to see what your car will do??
