The Reverse Sleeper - If I had a Million Dollars.

So I was bored shopping for groceries today. I thought to myself, wouldn't it be fun to make a super sleeper 10 second fit If I just had the money. But that seemed like kind of a lame, people have been there done that, idea. So instead I thought. What about a reverse sleeper?

To me a reverse sleeper would be a car so badly riced out that it would attract every muscle car in a 10 mile radius. Like the posermobile



Except my poser mobile would be a rocket.

I mean everybody nowadays knows that a riced out car is just a slow piece of trash that trys to look faster than it is. So that's why the 'clean' look is popular. But in reality people nowadays try to make their slowass cars look 'clean' Which means that the true sleeper would infact be a fast ricemobile not a fast 'clean' car.



MINDFREAK!

i as well had once entertained myself with this thought, haha - but my car's not going to be fast, just ugly. it's hard enough to make my car fast, let alone flashy as hell. it would end up being a reverse sleeper surprise.

As soon as there are changes to the size of the wheels and tires, exhaust, intake and suspension, people are thinking either ricer, or hey maybe it's fast... It is funny how the guys in ricers figure out what is fast pretty quick and don't try to race.

My first motorycle was a Ninja 250R. It has the dubius distinction of LOOIKING like a really fast sport-bike, and making some really high-revving sounds, but the thing is slooooow. Lots of folks claim it's a 5-second to 60 ride, but tests from reputable magazines put it around 6.9-7.7.

I always wondered if the ricers that would peel away from me at a stoplight (apparently being really convinced I was racing when I revved it up to 9K) would brag to their friends about how they totally beat a two-fiddy!

There were two 750cc motorcycles being touted as the worlds fastest in 1968 and both were boasting just over 6 seconds to 60 and 12.8 1/4 mile ETs.... In a short period of time there were 350cc 2 strokes that would beat them and sold for about 1/2 the price.
