This was prompted by a few reads on exhaust note and performance. Lets define what is a sleeper car! A couple definitions from internet Then the video. THAT IS A SLEEPER! ALL GO AND NO SHOW!
A sleeper (US English) or Q-car (British English) is a car that has high performance and an unassuming exterior.[1][2][3] Sleeper cars are so called because their exterior looks little or no different from a standard or economy-class car. In some cases the car appears worse due to seeming neglect on the owner's part, typically referred to as "all go and no show". While appearing to be a standard or neglected car, internally they are modified to perform at higher performance levels. The American nomenclature comes from the term sleeper agent, while the British term derives from the Q-ships used by the Royal Navy.
What is a sleeper car? At its core, a sleeper car is a high performance automobile whose styling gives away none of its athletic personality.
The best new sleeper cars are those that provide a veil of anonymity in the parking lot or while passing a prowling state trooper, yet still deliver gobs of fun on a twisty road or in a straight line. Everyone has their own definition of what a 'true' sleeper looks like - some tolerate no clues as to what lurks underneath the metal skin at all, while others are ok with a few flourishes here and there - but an important factor with any sleeper car is an element of the unexpected once the light turns green and the pedal is mashed to the floor.
