Just a fun little thought. People still talking about DSMs and the sleeper look. Want my view? No? Well tough shit I'm gonna toss this honk of thought rigth at you. I say DSMs are gone and done. They are still a very potent toy, but as they get older, they get cheaper and as Shane has said before they get to the cost point that everyone has them now. Good for business, Good for parts, bad to sleeper shit. With the Shootout being around 10 years now, DSMs being known for running 9s and 10s in what can be considerd to us as streetable, and the internet forums I don't think there is any way to classify them as being sleepers.

Considering almost every one you find for sale now is modded or was "returned" to stock. At the track this past weekend a muscle car guy comes up to Nash in his dirty as 1G Talon that don't look nothing like a low 11 second car. But he new right away it was quick and said himself he'd have one if he could fit in it. That was funny but when you break it down even the good ole boys are starting to catch on.

But I will let you be the judge..... I honestly don't think any sport compact car anymore in this market can truley be called a sleeper. To much push for performance in the marketing alone. I think a sleeper is now truely somthing you have to get creative with....
