OR Geepers Sleepers

Post some pics of your rotary powered cars that prove "you can't tell a book by it's cover". i.e. Looks totally stock (or close to stock), but it's really a zillion horse-powered rocket. Let's see some good ole wolf-in-sheep-clothing rotard-mobiles.

I got one besides the wheels, spoiler and mud flaps it is stock looking you cant even see the FMIC because it is behind the black front grill. Everyone thinks it is a nice 83 with a 12a but not no more.

Mine would probably qualify as a 'sleeper' once I turn up the boost. I don't consider 200whp in a '86 sport a sleeper yet. -Both pictures are old.

You have a really nice car, it's a sweet one for sure.

I'll be posting some pics of mine soon. IMHO, my somewhat modified S4 TII may be slightly more of a sleeper than any I've seen so far on this thread.

Stay tuned for the "Big Sleep".

Bah, none of these are real sleepers - they all look nice! My FB will be a sleeper after I get the turbo in and before I repaint. My old GLC, now that was a sleeper.
