My not-really-a-sleeper ...

Very nice ride but when you add GT, 5.0, and Supercharged, you can't call it a sleeper. Put those things in a Topaz, then maybe you have an argument. 😉

^ What? Love the red interior and streeing wheel. Sick combo, and your ride is sweet, most people on here drive rusted down mini vans that can't even be lifted at a shop without the use of some 2x4's to spread out the weight.

I love the red interior....mine also has red interior.....just not the steering wheel. 🙁

Kenne Bell makes a great twin screw ... do it! I almost went that route but their 2010 kit wasn't on the market at the time. I was also considering the Edelbrock TVS blower but found a good price for the Saleen kit so I did it.

Yeah, it was a toss up between the Edlebrock E-Force, or the Kenne Bell. Kenne bell won the imaginary, wishful thinking lottery.

But yes, please post up some dyno numbers ASAP!

Oh, there are sleeper GT's. Sleeper to me doesn't necessarily mean junk car. To me it is a car that would catch you off guard (performance wise). For instance, a stock looking fox body Mustang GT doing an 8 second 1/4 mile.

2010 has that horribly weak 4.6L.

yeah, my original "not a sleeper" comment.
Maybe I'm better educated than most, but that is just about as much of a sleeper as a set of crocodile eyes out there among the lily pads 😛

LOL. I like the analogy.
I always thought it was enough that it looks stock to call it a "sleeper". I guess not.
 
But can it race an M3?

A sleeper doesn't have to be a junk car no but it does have to be something you don't expect to be fast. A corvette zr1 that has been souped up more but looks like a stock regular vette isn't a sleeper and neither is a mustang. The only mustangs that can be a sleeper are fairmonts and 83 - 86 LTDs. Maybe maybe a mustang II coupe that looks like ass.
 
Official Grumpy day? Geez, way to welcome a new member and contributor.
Welcome to the AT Garage.
Nice looking ride.
 
Is that a Buick Regal GS ya got there?

Oh,

Oh it's NOT a sleeper. I'm sorry I thought you said it was.
Is it a horribly inefficient, unreliable Ford?
Is it the Ford Mustang?
That's hilarious.
I hope it's at least fun.

Just kiddin with you, nice wheels.

Welcome to ATG, here is your complimentary butt-hurt cream. :awe:

Looks like an awesome ride! Very clean and well sorted mods, I think it looks especially clean with the spoiler gone.

Ever taken it to the drag strip? I bet it'd be a good time.
 
When I hear sleeper I still think about my brothers old late 70s nova. He had steelies on it and the paint was crap. Back window had a crack in it and the interior looked like a family had lived in. Loved the sound of a big block chevy my whole life.


I really like how op changed the title and the tenor of the post instead of of shooting back.


Always good to see new blood in the garage!
