Gotta agree, 510 is NOT a sleeper. Tons of fast ones out there. I would do a K-car wagon, or something retarded like that. Maybe a corvair, and do wheellies everywhere. ---

Too much work to be swapping LS1’s into fwd cars in my opinion. Speaking of K-Cars have you seen the 10 second Reliant on [www.thedodgegarage.com](http://www.thedodgegarage.com) ? ---

> [@bennyfizzle"](#): > > How is a datsun 510 not a sleeper? B/c when you have a TON of them rolling around that look like this: Its hard to say you can make one a “good” sleeper. It kinda like saying a Nova is a sleeper, b/c they werent that quick from the factory, but now eveyone has a tubbed BB chevy Nova… ---

IMO any car that came from the factory that was slow in its time, looks slow and isnt cosmeticly outstanding and looks stock is a sleeper so yes a 510 is a sleeper although if I saw one that looked like that id assume it had something done to it as 510’s constantly get motor swaps ---
