What is the craziest car build you ever did as sleeper car?
I have a Fiat Seicento (2004)
Where I put a fiat punto 1.9 motor in for giggles.
It's my second car next to my jeep but I just love driving it because lightweight+power is just endless fun.
There is nothing greater than sitting next to a civic/golf rider at the stoplight and just watch them while you're shooting ahead of them.
Downside, highway while raining. The car becomes really hard to controle because it will handle aquaplanning really bad.
So what is your sleeper car/crazy build?

OP is fag.
>What's a sleeper car? Do you sleep in this thing?
Sleeper car is a car that looks normal from the outside like an allday familycar.
But got a tuned engine or engine swap to make it fast/strong.

I'd say Bill Harrah's '77 Jerrari is relevant here.
Jeep Wagoneer with a Ferrari engine and transmission. Bill Harrah used it to go from Reno to his properties in Tahoe. The story goes that it was faster in the winter than his helicopter. He was known to just pay whatever speeding ticket he was given, because his time was just worth it to him. Definitely one of my favorite cars out there, I've always loved Wagoneers in general.
And I work at this museum, so I might be a little biased.

not really crazy but i reckons a manual 2 door micra could be a pretty cool/ easy car to tune.
the twincam 1300cc motor is decent and they're straight up asphyxiated out of the factory. Basic intake/ exhaust mods would do a LOT unlike most cars where they do nothing. Maybe even a pulsar motor.
suspension and steering suck but they're very light, cheap and insanely easy to work on.
strictly for shits and giggles of course, cant take a granny mobile too seriously.

Any suspension work op? Swaybars? I agree tiny cars are a shitload of fun.

A friend of mine put an AJP V8 (Cerbera motor, 4.5 liter, flat plane crank) into a MK2 Escort. With about 450bhp at the wheels and a wet weight of 800kg, it absolutely flies. All things considered it puts the power down well and is relatively well balanced.
I've never done anything like that. I was considering putting 1.9tdi trim kit and accessories on my RS6 but it was foolish.
