I've been to NZ once. Nice, quiet. I remember they did have oil (gas) and it was expensive!
I think it's great the numbers are hiding. Shows restraint and professionalism to wait until it's ready. Like souffles ..and orgasms. In my line of work, giving out wrong info or propriety (think R&D $$$) info will kill your business and can make for a mediocre and confused market. |

That car can no longer claim "sleeper" status with that sound coming from it, hehehe.

"Sleeper" is a very subjective thing... but what I believe he was trying to say, our car can be a sleeper if it looks OEM but packs a 300 whp punch. Everyone knows it is slow, so by looks/sound (example with a TC kit installed) anyone would think the car might only have a mild exhaust. Then you punch it and its a beast. In that sense, yes there are ways to make it a sleeper.

Yes, but I'd never expect to see a sport coupe on the road and call it a sleeper. My narrowbody WRX wagon? That was sleepy. I understand the concept of a 200bhp car rocking 300whp...but sports cars aren't sleepy IMO.
You can hear supercharger whine from many feet away, over music, over air and road noise. Which is awesome. |

In college I was driving my friends G35 (coupe of course) and got blown away from a redlight by a sleepy minivan (we think it had a turbo due to the A-pillar gauges, but we have no idea what was in it). We were all kind of shocked and that story still gets told when my friends want to make fun of me.
