Top Gear Australia test:
It was one sec slower around their test track than a full blown E92 M3. Also half the price.

A second is a long time around a track that can be lapped in the 1:20's.

I may have already said this but I'd much rather have an E46 M3 (or even an E36) than an E90 328 or 330. E36 M3 is great as a sleeper. (I have recently come to like the E36 M3, can you tell? :P If I could I'd take an E46 M3 but I'd rather take an E36 M3 than an E46 328... but this trend doesn't continue, I'd rather have an E36 328 coupe than an E30 M3.)

An E36 isn't really a sleeper... people know they're fast. Unless you tuned one hard, took on a fazza and won... but sleeper is more like a civic with an engine swap taking on WRX or something.

Not really true. There are dozens of M3 replicas and //M-tech kitted 316i's and the like. A debadged M3 GT or M3 Evo is still pretty sleeper, it's not as if it's got the wider arches and track or different bumper designs of the E46.

Hmmm, how about a Audi S5/S4/RS6? IMO Audi are the masters of making fast Q-cars, R8 excepted.
oh snap

Mentioned ages ago. The RS2 avant and RS6+ avant are the two biggest sleepers of the last two decades, IMHO. 315bhp and 480bhp respectively.

That's gash, and far from a sleeper.
Lambo doors are for people with extremely small penises. Even on Lambos.

Not to mention an over 10-month bump. That sort of thing is what the Test Board is for, amirite?

Certainly doesn't look like a sleeper - and if I'm not mistaken, that's half of the definition of 'sleeper'. :P

It's not a sleeper, that powerful _OR_ that fast. About as much power as an M3 in something much heavier does not a sleeper make. If it was 'charged, then perhaps, but as is, it's not a sleeper.

That's a sleeper. DA Motorsport's 1100bhp E36 M3 saloon.

The rs6 avant's rims set me off. 03 S4 FTW! It looks drab from all angles, but it pwns on the track. My dad had one.

The B6 would be a better sleeper if they'd actually made is reasonably powerful- 339BHP in a car weighing the best part of 2 tonnes doesn't make it too much of a sleeper- My S2 coupé ended it's life with 400KG less weight and 80BHP more, and looked just as sleeper- plus much less prone to understeer at high speed thanks to how it was set up. It's a shame really, as the B5 S4 is truly incredible, full of interesting tech and capable of 600+bhp on standard internals with the right fettling...the aftermarket for the B6 and to a lesser extent B7 which was based on the earlier model is feeble in comparison, though you can get supercharger kits for both the RS4 and the S4.

Ford Taurus SHO? (especially the 3rd gen. SHO!)
Buick Grand National?
Cadillac CTS-V or STS-V?
BMW M5?
Audi S4?
Oldsmobile Aurora?
Some Mercedes-Benz?
Volvo S60R?
Volkswagen Passat W8?
Volkswagen Phaeton?
Something else?
I can say that these are good choices by you and i agree with you.
My vote goes for Cadillac CTS-V
Others are not on my mind without it.
