Merkur XR4Ti

a friend had a u.s. model here in germany- at lunch we would go about 45 miles away to eat pizzahut and would rap the thing out to 150mph for atleast 30 miles of it. it was ugly but it did move o.k.

Ford Sierra, correct? There was a Cosworth version that blew doors.

The RS500 raped quite a lot of Group A touring cars, but it was no sleeper.

DJR out here ran +650hp @ 3/4bar through 8" slicks and the world's first IRS 9in

Was gonna say E23 745i, but I'll go with E34 540i/6:



As fast as the M5, looks as shitty as a 525iA.

I love the Lotus Omega/Carlton. People think it's a 2.0 with sideskirts and a spoiler. Always wanted one.

I'll go with this though:

The release of the AMG Hammer sedan in 1986, based on the Mercedes-Benz W124, took AMG's performance modifications for a fast compact sedan to a new level. AMG made the world's fastest passenger sedan at the time, nicknamed the Hammer,[4] by squeezing Mercedes 5.6-liter V8 tuned by AMG to 360 hp into a midsized 300-series sedan. It was very aggressive for the era, with 32-valve cylinder heads and twin camshafts, and said to be faster than the Lamborghini Countach from 60 to 120 mph.[5] Later models were even more powerful and introduced the 17" AMG Aero 1 Hammer wheels.

Both very good contenders

this gets my vote. These cars are very light with a better power to weight ratio than almost any car posted thus far. And with it being factory de-badged I would say no one would know what hit em.

somewhere my dad has some pics of and isetta and a mid 60's Chrysler Imperial in a head on. not pretty! i guess they hit on the Tempe bridge when he was going to ASU in the 60's.
i remember seeing the pics as a little kid.

^ Neither of those are sleepers. To be a sleeper, a car needs to be able to hit at least 50 mph lol
