This-ish.
Just the 485bhp, 300 more than you'd be expecting.

I don't if you's would class this as a sleeper but I saw a Volvo 960 the other day, it looked just like a normal car and had standard Volvo alloys and no spolier or anything else... apart from the "2.5 24 valve" badge on the back
I few years ago in Orlando we had a Dodge Town & Country MPV (the US version of the new Chrysler Grand Voyager), it was a big lump of a 7 seater with no badge's on the back to indicate engine size etc but one day I opened the bonnet to fill up the water bottle and saw that "3.3L V6" was stamped into the top of the engine, so the next time a had a bit of clear road I planted it and boy could it shift when it wanted too !!!

I cant believe people (on car forum!) don't understand what a sleeper is lol
Surley a sleeper is a car whos performance would suprise anyone upto and including a petrol head if they met it on the road?!?!
As for Joe Public not knowing what an M5 is - that doesnt make the M5 a sleeper, that just highlights Joe Public's ignorance..

A facepalm... very fitting considering you consider a M5 to be a sleeper

I don't believe it is as it was built by Mazda to be the car it is, anyone could have walked into Mazda and bought one. To me this is a sleeper

A few points about that Fiesta make me uncomfortable about calling it a sleeper. I'll start with the two minor ones - it is wearing a Zetec S kit and alloys, when it would be more discrete with the standard bumpers, no skirts and steel wheels. The next point is a massive one for me: a sleeper just can't have an after market FMIC in full view of the public. That needs to be matt black and hidden behind grilles. I'm not criticising the car or saying that the owner wanted it to be a sleeper but I feel that obvious, big intercooler won't cut it in the true sleeper stakes.
I'd drive it though.
