Who's the new guy ^? ;)

EDIT: don't listen to him... he sold his 240. :p

Why drop it into a heavy G20 when you can use a lighter Sentra SE-R or NX2000 or GTi-R?

What does the G20 have over an SE-R?
The SE-R has an LSD just like the G20T IIRC.

Do you want the most discreet or best performance to noticeability ratio?

I mean, you could hide a Focus in a crowd much easier than you could a GTO, but the latter performs significantly better

best performance to noticeability ratio, good question btw

RS4/RS6 Avant or an M5 for that, though you pay $$$ for that privilege.

GTO but not a sport compact!

WRX has wings and scoops so does the SRT so therfore they are cop magnets!

WRX can be had wingless, & there are dozens of kids out there dying to trade their non STI rear decks for STI.

RS4. Hands down.

EDIT: Yeah, you know what - I'm changing my vote.
A4 Avant + chip + K04 + intercooler = winnar.

I went the G20 cuz it supposed to be a "luxury car" a fixed up sentra would just catch attention to the cops

you want a sleeper?

I already suggested the Mopar,Turbo Minivan;
If not that how about a CrownVic,former cop car,LOL.
Not compact,but they are still ok on gas,
My G/F Crown Vic gets 25-28 MPG on the road,and has a Huge back seat. ;)

SRT-4 for sure.

It basically looks like a neon, but the one thing to be careful is the stock exhaust, is pretty damn loud. If you truely wanted it to be a sleeper you'd probably want to replace it with the r/t exhaust.

But I'm a neon owner, so I'm biased. :p Its only moderately riced, the only giveaway on the outside might be the altezza lights, but I like em. :) But adding an intake and exhaust made it very, very fun to drive. I'm sure I could torch most civics. :p

Evo, take the wing off, paint the intercooler to match the car, remove the hood vent, it'll look like a 4 door family machine with aftermarket rims

Do that with an STI and it would look even quieter.

Don't STi's have topmount intercoolers? I couldn't imagine it would be too happy without the scoop..

I'm not 100% sure, though..and dialup is too slow to go look. :p

I personally have a hard time believing that they made a factory ricer out of the Neon, so I voted for it.
