      if you truly want to win the award, you want to have a time slip of 13.9 or better in the window, and put some slicks or DOT tires on it.

      I've decided that my car is a girl, she's picky as hell, won't listen to me, always wants to fight me, and when i give her presents it's never good enough and she always wants more.

            Thats what makes me think i got a shot at it... cuz if the gutted, fuel celled, turbo with R33 skyline recaro seats got sleeper... why cant the 99% stock lookin scort get it

              Depends on what they consider a sleeper, I guess.

              With that SSQV and loud exhaust, I wouldn't consider yours a sleeper.

                    i hear u on that note.... but i know how to drive my car w/out the BOV lettin off loud...

                    and on the exhaust thing...
                    how many pple that dont know anything about escorts/BGs would look@ my car and say "Look @ this fkin ricer with clear corners and a fartcannon!"

                    No one expects a stock looking escort to pull on WRXs, S2000s, GSR Civics, Cobalt SS's, Mustangs 5.0s... and the list gets longer... so in my book its still 100% sleeper

                      jeff's was a far cry from being a sleeper when he won that award... big 17" wheels, no front bumper just a giant FMIC, gutted interior, etc.

                      i think you could win it no problem but everyone is going to think that its jeff's car. happens to me everywhere i go... lol

                          that could have even been me... i recall laying waste to an S4 one of the few times i went to the pike. they are no joke, i'm not sure a GTX would take one...
