Lets see what you guys can come up with for sleepers. Here is my definition of what a sleeper is.
A car that has high performance and an unassuming exterior. Sleeper cars are termed such because their exterior looks little or no different from a standard or economy-class car (or in some cases worse due to seeming neglect on the owner's part), but internally they are modified to perform at higher performance levels.

First up
Parish's Pinks Car
Ford Fairmont ran a best of 9.49. It has hundreds and hundreds of runs in the 500-600rwhp level. Stock 5.3 other than cam and springs. cheap mp70 turbo, mid 10's on pump gas at 8-9psi and mid 9's around 15psi.
