Well if the car was 50HP stock and they used a completely STOCK 300Z motor and only had 320HP, the car much weigh under 2000lbs...

No matter the numbers I am guessing it will still be a sleeper.

I could see thinking to myself "damn that corvette runs better than I thought it would!" but thats about as far as being a sleeper I would take it

This is interesting. If you took my DRs and skinnies off. And I still had formula hatch on. Plus my car only had one tail pipe so most people thought my car was a V6. It also was not loud because the turbo didnt make the car lope and it was very quiet. I snuck up on quite a few people with that setup. sleepers are cool. That nova is one of my favorite too.

^ I could see a 1 tail pipe brind w/ shitty wheels/tires being a very effective sleeper.

The works becuase like with the Mustang there is a slow 6-cylinder economy option for the car. Thus, people know there is a slow version.

I think it'd be pretty fun to take a stock 6 cylinder stang and put some kind of nasty turbo v8 in it while keeping the stock 1 tail pipe haaha.

My car can be a sleeper since they are so slow stock.
