Who would of guessed that my modern sleeper car video would get over 100k views in less
than one week, you guys must of really liked it. That's freaking awesome. Well as promised,
here's part 2 featuring 5 cheap sleeper cars you should be afraid to race against. Just
like the last one if this video gets 500 likes I'll upload a part 3, featuring some of the
most iconic sleepers. If you're new here welcome to the channel my name is Cristian and this
is vehicle virals, if you guys end up liking video make sure to subscribe for more automotive
content. Let's begin.
First cheap sleeper is the 2006 Chevy Impala SS. This is a car that kept the old school
1960s tradition of inserting a powerful motor in a car that really didn't seem like a it
had any business carrying one. Between the regular Impala and the SS there isn't much
of a styling difference on the outside. The SS has bigger wheels, diamond pattern grille
inserts, bright exhaust tips and a small wing and that's about it. You can easily make it
more of a sleeper by removing the SS badges and you're secret will be safe until you decide
to floor it at the next traffic light. But in order to floor it without getting embarrassed
you need a car that can perform and thats exactly what the Impala SS does thanks to
it's 5.3L V8 engine that produces 303 HP and 323 lb-ft of torque. The Impala SS is able
to complete a 0-60 run in around 5.5 seconds, and can sprint a quarter mile in the high
13 seconds and low 14 seconds. Plenty to like about those numbers but there are things that
might turn off some car enthusiast. A manual transmission isn't available, and instead
you're left with a an 4 speed automatic along with FWD. In Fact it uses GM's front
drive W body platform that is the basis for the Buck Lacrosse, the Pontiac Grand Prix
and Monte Carlo. But what about torque steering? You see normally when you have a front wheel
drive car with a powerful engine you might experience the front wheels turn either left
or right upon takeoff. But thankfully Chevy had programmed the traction control to counter
the loss of grip making torque steering on the Impala SS practically non-existent. You
can buy one these for as low at 5K.
The next cheap sleeper is the 2006 Mazdaspeed6. Definitely a car that carries stealthy performance
but sadly was heavily underrated and unappreciated during it's 2 year cycle. Maybe because Mazda
choose not to run many campaign ads. The marketing for the Speed6 just sucked. It's a well put
together car if you ask me. It's quick but also has its civilized side and posses plenty
of room for the family inside. The Speed6 comes equipped with a 2.3L Direct injection
turbocharged 4 cylinder engine that produces 274 HP and 280lb-ft of torque. Thanks to it's
power and all wheel drive system the Speed6 can achieve a 0-60mph run in around 5.5 seconds
and can run the ¼ Mile in around 14 seconds. Best of all is that it comes equipped with
manual gearbox, in fact no automatic version was offered at the time. Kind of shows you
what type of demographic Mazda was going for. Of course thanks to it's AWD the Speed6 specializes
in traction but it also features a multimode active torque system that places the car in
one of three drive modes automatically based on how your car is performing in it's given
environment. Top it off with a limited slip differential and you got a very capable car.
And did you know that this car and the 4 cylinder ECOboost ford mustang might have something
in common? You know that engine Ford claimed to have been working on for years? Hmmmmmm.
Other than a few tweaks and relocation of some parts to the ECOboost engine, they might
actually be the same. Other than the big 18 inch wheels and the cute little spoiler, it
looks nearly identical to the regular Mazda 6 making this a perfect sleeper car. Best
part is you can find them for around 6K with decent amount of miles on them. If you need
a speedfix get the speedsix. Ok that was cheesy moving on
3rd car on the list is the 2003 Jaguar XJR. I know I know. Some people might not agree
with me that the XJR is a sleeper car. Sure it doesn't look slow by any means but it also
doesn't look like it can tear up most cars on the street with ease. What do you think,
can the Jaguar XJR pass off as a sleeper? This car here packs a punch and reveals it's
true identity when you floor all while keeping you very comfortable inside thanks to its
air suspension that was fitted all around providing adaptive damping as well as rear
self leveling. You also get some killer standard features like heated front and rear seats,
a heated steering wheel, a power rear sunblind, an Alpine audio system and radar based adaptive
cruise control. And best of all is the engine that it carries. It's a 4.2L supercharged
engine that produces 400HP and 399lb-ft of torque. It can do a 0-60mph in as low as 4.7
seconds and the ¼ in the mid 13 seconds. That's pretty fast now can you imagine how
fast that was back in 2003? One of the reason the XJR can move so quickly is thanks to it's
all aluminum structure which at the time made it much lighter than its competitors. Not
only is the XJR very quick off the line but it can easily morph from double to triple
digits at unbelievable speed. Just know that if you're looking to buy a XJR reliability
and maintenance can be a concern as most used Jaguars can be. I mean there is a reason this
car retailed for around 80K when it came out and now you can find them for as low as 8K
with around 100K miles on it. You've been warned
4th cheap sleeper car is the 2007 Lexus IS350. This is pretty much Japan's version of the
BMW's 3 series without being noticeably. It perfectly camouflages in the body of the
more commonly seen IS250. While sadly only the smaller IS250 offers a manual transmission
the IS350 does offer wheel mounted paddle shifts to give those looking for more of an
engaging driving experience. When it comes to performance the IS350 comes equipped with
a 3.5L V6 that produces 306HP and 277lb-ft of torque, can perform a 0-60mph in just under
5 seconds. According to Road and Track they were able to achieve 4.9 while other less
reputable sources were able to achieve 4.7 seconds. You get speed without having to sacrifice
comfortability. And of course Reliability. I mean it is Lexus after all. It does come
in a RWD and thanks to it's rack and pinion steering gears helps provide linear steering
response, precise control and better straight line stability. And because the exhaust note
practically absent the IS350 provides quite acceleration which makes it that much more
of a sleeper. I mean what is there not to like? You get a fast car, with a sleeper body
of an IS250, comfortable seats that are perfectly adjustable, the reliability of Toyota, and
high safety scores. As an article on Jalopnik put it. A Sleeper that won't kill you. Most
of them sell for a little over 10K but I was able to find many for just under 9K with around
120K miles on it.
5th and final cheap sleeper car is the 2006 Honda Accord V6 EX sedan. While this car looks
a bit bland in the looks the department it's a very fun car to drive. I mean that's kind
of what a sleeper is isn't it. With so many many accords out on the road this car can
easily become forgettable and unnoticeable. But what really turns this car into a sleeper
is the option of 6 speed manual transmission. I personally drove one of these before and
was able to chirp tires shifting into 3rd gear. Sadly I believe there were only 2 years
where there offered the manual transmission for the V6 Accord sedan making them a little
more challenging to find. Moving on to performance, the Accord comes equipped with a 3L V6 VTech
engine that produces 244HP and 211lb-ft of torque. It can sprint from 0-60mph in around
5.9 seconds while the numbers don't really sound that impressive back in 2006 this was
considered pretty fast. I mean even today that Accord would win against many ricers
on the road. If you can find yourself a manual V6 EX Sedan just know you're in for a good
time. The Accord has many years of if refinement, you get 5 star overall crash safety scores
and it's no secret that the Accord consistently holds top honors in the long term reliability
studies. You can easily find them for just under 6K and if you want 6speed manual version
you pay a few thousand dollars more. This is perfect for a family car that offers all
the practicality features you need while still having the fun to keep things interesting.
