    A sleeper is any vehicle that appears to be slow, but is hiding an evil secret in its engine bay. Sleepers are scintillating machines that prove time and skill (and money) can turn a garden variety family sedan or station wagon into a street rocket ready to tackle those with far more cash to burn.

Under the hood sits a 3.0-liter V6 engine fitted with custom intake and exhaust manifolds, a big ol' HKS turbo and a whole lot of boost. The end result: a Camry that puts down 728 horsepower - at the wheels.

    oh man, we had a green 96 Camry, always though it would have been a blast to make it haul ass, damn thing would hit 122 on flat ground and ANY slight uphill it would lose speed :ROFL:
