Street Sleepers

Well, we all love a street sleeper. If you're not sure of the term, its a crap looking car, with immense power/ handling

so heres a few to get things going

Ford Escort Mk3

suprised ?

Or how about a good old transit van

Xj220 rims are a bit flash though for a tranny?

or how about a chavved up Lancia Y10 (intergrale)

Soooo what can the swedes show us old Brits about sleepers

Team Ascona have quite a good car, the wheelie bar and huuge drag tyres do give the game away a bit though

for footage of it visit

www.speedlife.se and download the 210mb STOCKHOLM OPEN film, this is how the boys in scandanavua do streetracing - shut down a motorway ? no problem ;)

The vids on speedlife are quality. Can't believe they managed to get away with that on the motorway.

I am trying to find a picture of a car i have just read about. Its a Rover SD1, with a
27litre !!! V12 engine in it! Its looks pretty mad, so not the ultimate sleeper, but
no-one is going to be guessing at 27litres!!

Although i am still not sure if this is accurate!

yeah I saw the film on the Stockholm open recently, Sundis makes some quality films!

I like the idea of blocking off the motorway, as how are the cops going to get through
to catch anyone :) - top stuff!! Don't think it would work here though :(

Ah i have found it. Its in a magazine called Practical Performance Car
and i like their slogan .. No Stereos, No Bodykits, No Bullshit

Anyway, here is the car!

It really is 27 litres. The engine is a 27-litre V12 Meteor engine. The Meteor’s a
non-supercharged version of the famous Merlin V12 that powered Spitfires
to victory in the Battle of Britain. With 12 cylinders, two overhead cams and 4-valves
per cylinder, the Meteor’s a pretty advanced design for the 1930s. It churns
out a lazy 650hp at 2500rpm !!!!!!

and thats before these guys got their hands on it. Now its running a scratch built ecu
and bigger injectors and allsorts of other mad stuff! It Ran at the Goodwood Festival
of speed, whether they we're meant to or not :)

Top car, i got the info from their site which you can find on google!
