I like sleepers you can drive on public roads as well as a track. I had a modified ZR1 vette but hardly a sleeper car. Now picked up a 2017 CTS-V which I will be taking to the road course near las Vegas in june. should be fun. I'll try to bring back some pictures/video.

The Citroen and Cadillac could be called sleepers... the Vette not so much. I think my Honda qualifies as a sleeper. Stock motor only 200 hp. No one has to know about the big front brakes, racing spec. coilovers, huge sway bars and race compound tires. All together it makes a fun and capable track car that still gets over 30 mpg on the highway.
Very cool. I was on track with one of those Cadillacs last year and when it blazed by me on a long straight I was like what the heck was that.... I had no idea Cadillac produced such a car.
This is one of the best races I have ever seen.

BTW, the CTS/CTS-V is only a sleeper if you don't know what it is - basically a luxury Corvette. Sort of a response to the Infinity G35/G37.

I had an older Lexus SC400,(don't laugh) that was a great sleeper. It was gold and had the funky gold emblems on it too.
I had done some careful porting and tuning, along with Supra suspension parts, bilsteins, 4 pot brakes that were a bolt on(same chassis). It was about on par with an M3, or base 911 for power/performance.
The last week I had it, I got into it with a new CTS-V, took him in the corners, but once we got onto the straight hiway, he passed me like I was going backwards. I had owned the car some 15 years by then too, so could drive it pretty well.
Do they make the active shock suspension for that car too I wonder, or just the camaro special model?
