Street sleeper - post up some examples

Street sleeper - a vehicle that looks understated but packs a massive punch, post up your favourite street sleeper.

This must be such a laugh, 386 bhp four wheel drive mk4 Escort van that can do 12 sec 1/4 mile and 0-60 in 4 secs ish.

Pretty sure pics have been up before, but anyway.... post up up your favourite sleeper.

looks old but tidy..... with a suprise!!

 

There's a great Escort estate in a Ford mag this month. On Steelies, not quite as serious as the van - RS Turbo motor, but with roof rack and ladders. Well funny.

Here's my personal favourite. Then again, it would be

On location, snoring away...

 

Take one old Escort Ghia



field motorsport 400 bhp cossie lump. now replaced with a 530 bhp monster with anti lag etc.

 

there was that beige polo breadvan with a mad 20vt or G60 or something in it on steelies that was psoted up a year or so ago, that was pretty funny only indications that it wasnt standard was the intercooler peeking through the front bumper- he even used a ratty old tailpipe so it looked stock from the back!

 

The old Jetta was deffo a sleeper!

 

That thing is awesome. The bloke has also done a Mk3 Escort with 4x4 cossie drivetrain and engine, can't find any pics though.

 

This one Luke? Love the AA badge.

 

PMSL at this.

 

That's the one

I read the feature about the van, apparently some people were making comments about it being a waste of time doing all that to a Mk3 Escort, so he done the van just to p!*s them off even more

 

Read on PF he's sold the van.

 

nutter4x4's mk1 will be a bit of a sleeper - when's the public unveiling Pops?

 

never realised that the royal nail van and the scort mk3 were built by the same guy, love them both especialy the royal nail van. Powernuts caddy truck will be quite a sleeper when finished, and have you seen his splitty pickup truck, a proper sleeper!

 

and who could forget this...

 

Cracking thread

Although it does make me want to do bad things

 

Good stuff Phil , love the Transit Connect !

 

And a local guys V8 6.3 200mph 9 second Granada!!



Some may have seen it run at TOTB

 

I'd call this a bit of a sleeper. These station wagons can be made stupid quick with very little work.
