  Sleeper (car) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Some cars come like this from the factory to suit the tastes of those who want performance without drama, whether understatedness suits their chosen image or lifestyle, or because they do not wish to attract the attention of the police.
Owners may, in fact, reduce the evidence that their car is of high-performance by removing characteristic letterings and trimmings.
Some simply like having performance without show, but a more predatory use of the sleeper is in street racing, where it is used to fool an opponent into under-estimating a car's performance for the purposes of "hustling".
