Cadillac CTS-V gets my vote, or the previous M5 (E39).
Re: Best sleeper car when stock?
Buick Grand National. If for no other reason than who would suspect a Buick?

The older Phaetons were pretty sweet, plus few suspect a VW.

Audi RS6 avant- the old one, that is
Seriously. 480bhp, AWD, 8-pot brakes, all in an estate package.

Re: Best sleeper car when stock?
The RS6 Avant really is a cool car, I do like the new version also, but the new one really looks the business, where the prev RS6 looks like a normal A6, only the trained eye knows it's not a normal A6
The E39 M5 is also still lovely, for most it's just a 5 series (or just a BMW in general) but IMO it looks pretty agressive but still stylish.

Good choices, I didn't even think about the RS6 Avant! Cool sleeper!
So, what about the Mercury Marauder? I forgot to list that one also.

When you put it that way, R32 GTR Vspec. Just replace "Porsche owner" with "Holden/Ford owner". And they look the shiz as well.

So does the R33 GT-R V-Spec, but hey, the R34 does too... jeez, you can say it about any of the three "real" GT-Rs (although the R34 GT-R is quite a bit less "sleeper"-like than the others).
Re: Best sleeper car when stock?
Common a R35 does not look like it's just a normal car that you would use to go to work all day and take the family with on a holiday.... or go shopping with (daily stuff when you have kids.)
And everyone who sees the car will know it's a sports car.
a R32 GTR on the other hand... but then it's still a 2 door coupe.

Note though that the R32 V-Spec was the reason why V8 Supercars exists as a race between Fords and Holdens only XD.RedCarDriver wrote:So does the R33 GT-R V-Spec, but hey, the R34 does too... jeez, you can say it about any of the three "real" GT-Rs (although the R34 GT-R is quite a bit less "sleeper"-like than the others).
199 R32 V-Specs got shipped to Australia, and a couple got entered in the V8 Supercars, although obviously it wasn't V8 Supercars back then. The R32 won 9 out of 11 races. It was then subsequently banned from the tournament.

True, but so will a Noble and they look brutally fast.baumaxx1 wrote:R35 GTR... yes, they look fast, but they're bound to wipe the smiles of many a porsche and supercar owner
Theres far too much hype around the R35 to ever see it as a sleeper, even if it was subtly styled. Brabus are probably the kings of sleeper- the CLS Rocket, for example- 730bhp and 217mph from a 4 door executive car.
I'll have mine in black, please. With a 320CDi badge on the boot and diesel tailpipes.

...although if you want a drift sleeper instead, I know that BMW M5's are sick.

Re: Best sleeper car when stock?
It was hardly fast, though. Remember, it was racing a broken, automatic 115bhp early 80's Lancia and a 2 tonne 4-speed Mercedes.Koenigsegg_Rox wrote:Most inconspicuous off-road car: "Oliver" (Top Gear Safari FTW)

Re: Best sleeper car when stock?
Sleeper IS about the fastest. A sleeper is a car that looks ordinary and basic, but is extremely fast.Koenigsegg_Rox wrote:well it's not about fastest . Oliver was the best off-roader apart from the Beetle XD. Lawl at the Beetle music...
