Cant believe theres no mention of the GTP Grand Prix! That supercharged 3.8 was a torque monster and looked like a mid-sized grocery getter in the 4 door body.
My brother street raced one back in the day, it blew the doors off his red Integra gsr. He was absolutely floored how it could happen. Open mouth shocked lol. That's how we learned about that model
There are hardly any GTP Grand Prixs in my area let alone any Grand Prix. I have a 04 compg that has been modded. I have a bad habit of driving slow until the on ramp while an unsuspecting gti or wrx is on my bumper. I then punch it in second gear. It's fun to see them try and catch up.
The only two vehicles that impressed me with g force were an old girlfriends mom's gtp and my rc ram srt 10 with a viper 505 v10, a manual and 4:56 gears.
They were two door as well I had a 99 blue two door gtp grand prix loved it wish I had that one back it had ugly Interior for wat it looked like on outside but was stilla quick nice lil car
I had a G6 GXP for 5 years, starting back in its hay day. Loved the car even though it was obviously a bit of an econobox. Slight correction, it came with a 3.6 V6. Only the GTP’s that came with the 3.9 V6.
Exactly and you could get them in manual but you could only get the six speed manual in the GTP trims, and I'm pretty sure only for the 2006 model year I think after that they went to a six-speed automatic instead of the four speed automatic
the 3.6 was a nasty motor at the time and that version was much more solid than later versions. My dad used to have one and it was a ton of fun, only thing I didn't like was the torque steer sometimes it felt like it wanted to kill whoever was driving lol
The Mitsubishi galant ralliart was sold in Australia as the Magna VRX. I had one. Awd, 3.8L v6. It was surprisingly quick. If they came out rwd, they would have outsold the commodore and falcon.
Mitsubeeshi, another name to be added to my list of badly mispronounced car manufacturer names by Americans, along with Nee-san, Morzda, Fee-art, Maserotti, Renolt & Porsch-a. Honourable mention; Bitsarini (Bizzarini) & Bertoni (Bertone) thanks to Jay Leno.
@Blake-fz7ed Lol I thought the same thing. I was like my grandma had a 98 that was supercharged, not even realizing they made another regal in the 2010's. I guess it is a sleeper if nobody knows about it.
The last Buick shown was actually an Opel, which GM sold to Peugeot, who then made them for GM & it's various parent companies to be sold under their own brand names. It was marketed in Australia as a Holden Commodore. Didn't do well, compared to the Australian made rear wheel drive Commodores, most of which were V6s, but some were available with 6 & 6.2 litre Chevrolet V8s, with some being supercharged like in the Holden Special Vehicles GTS models. A turbocharged 3.6 litre V6 producing 282lb/ft (381Nm) of torque? I would certainly hope for more grunt than that from a turbo. Especially one with variable valve timing.
When i think of mitsubishi i think of the 80s Galant VR-4. If it wasnt for the Galant VR-4 and it being the original platform for the 4G-63 we might not even have the Lancer/Evo models. My very first car was a 1989 Dodge 2000GTX ( aka the Mitsubishi Galant) with a 5-speed manual, unfortunately it didnt have 4G-63 in the "Dodge" model if i recall correctly. But it was a solid little car none the less.
Quicker than any car in its class at the time. My father has a 19 and with only a cold air, tune, exhaust, and a pedal-max on 93 ran 12.91 @ 108 in Gulfport
I wanted a fusion sport but couldn't find a nice one found a 10 Honda accord v6 exl less than 80k miles not the same performance but a better ride and handling.

To put it bluntly. The Crosstour is ugly. I'd rather drive a mid 2000s Town and Country then one of those. Now a cool wagon would be the Lexus IS300 Sport Wagon. Now that's a real wagon! Amd has a 2J
@@bricegraham8256 the crosstour is a crossover, not a wagon, it's just more sedan like than SUV like unlike some other crossovers. They are pretty good looking and look way better than those Mercedes and bmw 4 door coupe things that they have sold.

When I worked at an oil change shop when I was in high school, this girl came up in an Altima SR and she was SOOO fine.

The Lincoln MKS Ecoboost is underrated imo. Same TT 3.5 and the same amount of power as the Taurus SHO but in a luxury package. Exceptional deal on the used market because they’re not driven as hard as the SHO because they’re usually owned by older and therefore calmer drivers
Love my mks Ecoboost. I have a 2011 that’s tuned and pushing 400whp and 440ftlbs. Thing is fun as hell to drive. Unfortunately it needs a transmission atm. But will be done as soon as I got time to put one in.
Yes, nobody knows about the MKS, by now alot of people know about the SHO but The MKS has the exact same tuning potential the only thing is that it's enormous, bigger than a BMW 740li of the same year and it weighs 4600 pounds
So first off. I love the newer (2010) Buick Regal GS. I'd love to get one in stick. I never knew they existed in still until I watched the Shooting Cars video where Zach reviewed one. I also agree with you on the design of the older Mitsubishi Galant. However I never knew there was a Ralliart version. It actually looks kinda badass however I take your side on that the previous generation looks much better. But I think the only Galant I'd ever own is a Mitsubishi Galant VR4 from the 90s.
That generation galant, known in australia as the 380 from 2005-2008 when it was produced here, had an even quicker version known as the TMR 380. With a supercharged 3.8 V6 that has 230kW (around 310hp), only 20 were ever made in 2008. A rare one, but a nice one for sure.
@@curtisnoble. Sounds like a nice one there you have. And would still be a sleeper, wouldn't expect that generation galant/380 to have that kind of kick, but they indeed do
When I was 15 in '95, 2 months before I turned 16, my father and mother took me down to the local Ford dealership to get me my first car to practice driving in. His original intent was to get me a new Explorer Limited. When we got back home from the dealership, I pulled into the garage spot that was designated for my car, parked it, and exited from my new Taurus SHO. LOL It was literally taken out of the showroom off the showroom floor for me. It was awesome! It was emerald green w/tan leather throughout, and power everything. Great throaty girggle from the Yokohama engine. A few months later, my cousin borrowed it and f'ed it up to the tune of $15,000 to repair. I ended up trading it in for a new diamond white Seville STS. A few months later I traded in for a '96 Lexus LX450 and graduated from high school driving the LX450 (it was cashmere beige metallic). Over the months after, I had A LOT of new rides. A Volvo S90. A 5.0 V8 Mountaineer. A 40th Anniversary Edt Land Cruiser. By '98 I was almost sure I was going to get either the new Mercedes-Benz ML320, or the Acura SLX Premium. Ended-up finding out from the dealerships that both had a tip over tendency in emergency maneuvers. I ended up then getting a new Lexus LX470 in black (only the 2nd of that vehicle sold and shipped to Florida at that time), and a '99 black Saab 9-5 Aero. Now that I'm older, I've been into Volvo and Audi predominately. Absolutely NOBODY does interiors like Audi! My all-time love is the '88-'92 Lincoln Mark VII LSC. So beautiful 😍! I'm still in the market to own one, and also another '97 Land Cruiser 40th Anniversary Edt., SLX Premium. I can be persuaded also a '90's Buick Roadmaster Estate Wagon.
I wanted one of those so, so bad. However, they were rated at 260HP/6sp but SE versions @ 240HP or 250 but with a 5sp... Yet publications at the time said they're equally as fast which I thought was odd. What happened to the vehicle?
Welcome back! Great list, some things about the altima coupe: Power didnt go down for the 2012 (last v6 year) i think you were looking at the tq figure (258). The engine is also closer related to the 350z, instead of 370. Its the VQ35DE, same as was in the 350z and g35s but with a different tune and layout due to FWD.
The Chevy beretta used to be a quick lil car. I had a buddy in school had one that he had done very lil to I think he upgraded the turbo, plugs, wires, chip, and a good tune and he was eating everything he ran up.
If you do another one on sleepers add in the Buick road master / Cadillac fleetwood sedan if you got a 1994 or newer you can get it with a gen 2 lt1 260hp and 330 lb torque and gm tune these down so with just a engine tune you can get that hp back up to 300hp and plus you can get theses cars for anywhere for 1000$ to 5000$ in super good condition
the 3.5 altimas from that gen are sooo hard to find, and i have a really really nice one totally by accident, also because the coupe didnt exist until 2008 the 2007 SE sedan got the sport suspension and all that jazz
1st Gen ford fusions had a manual option, tho it was rare. I was lucky enough to get one😁. I learned manual on it. Drove it for over a year had a bad clutch problem I didn’t like how unreliable it was. But it does have a special place in my heart being the first car I drive stick on
There was a G6 GXP race car with a V8 and obviously RWD that served as GM/Pratt & Miller's stop-gap between the GTO and the 5th gen Camaro in Grand Am GT competition. Anyone remember that?
@@alexcurtis8132 The G8 was the rebadged VE Commodore, but that's not the one I'm talking about. I'm talking about this: th-cam.com/video/Q-ot67vO2CA/w-d-xo.html
The 2009 Brabus V10 B-Class AMG with straight and downpipe multitorque of my wife once overtook an C63 with 251 mph. Other driver prolly still got his jaws dropped
The Last Gen Regal had a 3.6N/A V6 & The Last Gen Bonneville had a 5.3 N/A and the Predecessor of that had a 3.8 Supercharged V6 motor. Other than the lack of research these are good videos.
The last gen bonneville actually had the N/A 4.6 LH8 Northstar They also didn't sell great with only like 6300 or something examples or so, the last gen bonnies also had the supercharged 3.8 but those only last from 2000 to 03
Every first gen Ecoboost 3.5 V6 in FWD were plauged with problems. Water pump replacement required taking off the timing chain a 10-12 hour job and the transfer cases for the rear wheels were difficult to do fuild services. They were placed right above the catalytic converters causing the fluid inside to get cooked. These cars were not designed to be serviced past 100k when the water pump and transfer case usually go out.
I absolutely LOVE the Bonneville GXP... but if it even looked at a supercharger, that Northstar V8 would blow a head. Nit to mention, the transmission would have already disintegrated.
2017 Fusion Sport is what i own......have turbos off a 3.0 eco.....intercooler upgraded, axel back exhaust, intake, bigger TB with spacer, and a tune from Unleashed.....435hp and 495 lbs torque.... with AWD......i destroy Scat Packs, Red Sport q60s, 335 and 340 BMWs with m packages......
The Crown Victoria is one of the most overlooked sleepers. Not only is it basically a four door Mustang, but it also has the reliability of a Toyota Camry and it's safer than most full size trucks. The added bonus is they're easy as pie to work on, and the parts are insanely cheap. You can't go wrong with a Panther.
I’ve owned the vic & a town car, and while they are some of the best cars ever made, I would never refer to them as a sleeper. You can push a little more power out of them but by the time you put the money into them you’re way better off just getting an actual performance sedan.
@@slappy4braps20 Dude, my 2011 CVPI SAP makes 289 horsepower. Had it dynoed. It's no slouch. Most of your older Mustangs can't even top that. With supercharger or turbo, it could easily make north of 600 hp. Have friends with them. My car is naturally aspirated with no stupid snake oil mods. The other difference between it and a normal CVPI is an all aluminum Typhoon intake, MSD coil packs, Holley throttle body, 93 octane and 3.27 lsd rear end.
If some of these underrated ones were offered with a manual transmission, then I feel like they would be just a bit more popular, but they don't so 🤷🏾♂️
S*** back in the muscle car. Heyday, buick was one of the top dogs that four fifty five wildcat had five hundred and ten foot pounds of torque factory.

i love how the regal is the first on the list
The regal gs in the early 2000s was supercharged and the bonneville had a 3.8 v6 supercharged also and a northstar v8 as an option
they all put me to sleep ;except,
i do like the Altima coupe's bodystyle. I like your vids.

The Chevy ss was a sleeper car as well. Truly miss this car.

Why does your clickbait thumbnail show "450 HP" with a picture of the Galant when literally not a single car in this video has 450 HP?
In about 1995 my dad took the first galant in NYC then again with the facelift version.

@@alexcurtis8132 The G8 was the rebadged VE Commodore, but that's not the one I'm talking about.
I'm talking about this: th-cam.com/video/Q-ot67vO2CA/w-d-xo.html
The Grand Prix gxp had the 5.3 ls4 FWD
The 6th Gen and 8th Gen Mitsubishi Galant VR4 were pretty sick also
I NEVER knew about the Gallant Rally Art & not much sneaks by me with cars of the last 20-30 years. Wow!
Yoooooo welcome back man
Good to be back!
What about the infinity g35 and g37 bc the g6 is wack to me bc i had a 05 chevy cobalt
The 2009 Brabus V10 B-Class AMG with straight and downpipe multitorque of my wife once overtook an C63 with 251 mph. Other driver prolly still got his jaws dropped
welcome back man!
thank you!
I’m sure it’s been mentioned. But the bonneville gxp was a 4.6 v8 North Star only. Ssei was the supercharged one.
BROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I LOVE YOUR CONTENT
thank you man i really appreciate that!
The Last Gen Regal had a 3.6N/A V6 & The Last Gen Bonneville had a 5.3 N/A and the Predecessor of that had a 3.8 Supercharged V6 motor. Other than the lack of research these are good videos.
Check out my most recent videos, this was months back and I have completely changed everything 😁
The last gen bonneville actually had the N/A 4.6 LH8 Northstar They also didn't sell great with only like 6300 or something examples or so, the last gen bonnies also had the supercharged 3.8 but those only last from 2000 to 03
The last Bonneville (GXP only) had the 4.6 northstar. The amount of misinformation here is astounding lol
Had a new 2005 3.8 V6 Black color with Leather Sun roof gallant. Had plenty of power and go. Camax brought her in 2017.
Every first gen Ecoboost 3.5 V6 in FWD were plauged with problems. Water pump replacement required taking off the timing chain a 10-12 hour job and the transfer cases for the rear wheels were difficult to do fuild services. They were placed right above the catalytic converters causing the fluid inside to get cooked.
These cars were not designed to be serviced past 100k when the water pump and transfer case usually go out.
If you do another list the Lincoln Continental Black label came with 400 hp and AWD
The Buick Regal mentioned at the at the start. Wasn't that car based partly on a Vauxhall/Opel Insignia from Europe? Watching in Dublin Ireland
Those Buick regals are also Holden commodores in NZ and Australia
Vauxhall/Opel Insignia. You’re thinking of the G8/SS and the Caprice. It rides on GMs Epsilon platform which is primarily German.
Il add my personal car…2016 Infiniti Q50…hybrid sport. 360hp and 400lbs torque. 4.8s car and no one expects it and I love it 😂
The GM body they used is actually pretty solid, they still rust but the doors are nice and it's a comfy ride. A good choice for a Mitsubishi IMO
I absolutely LOVE the Bonneville GXP... but if it even looked at a supercharger, that Northstar V8 would blow a head. Nit to mention, the transmission would have already disintegrated.
Where's that 450 horsepower Gallant?
Right!?! He clickbaited the fuck out of everyone. 😂
Greatest sleeper even u slept on doing this list the Chevrolet SS
The 99 regal gs is insane
when i think mitsubish i think about the pajero lmao
I genuinely still want a 3.5 Altima coupe. Can't say I've ever wanted a G6
one car that no one ever thinks about is a 2003 vw passat w8 the only 8cyl passat ever made and is a highway monster
Check out the first gen (G50 series) Infiniti Q45. That's a sleeper nobody knows about. The specs are insane for the time period, and still today.
Love my fusion sport gaps a lot of cars😁
Tune and Intercooler get you 400+ crank hp. Wild bargain. Bought mine with 24k miles 401A package for 20k in 2021. Awesome cars. 😊
Fusion Sport was also impressive on an autocross course.
the newer nissans came with lower hp for efficiency and mpg, but it was just to save the transmissions from grenading.
Return of the King
97 Galant vr4 owner here, it's basically Mitsu's competition for the GTR and Supra
Welcome back
The Mazdaspeed 6 never gets love 😢
2017 Fusion Sport is what i own......have turbos off a 3.0 eco.....intercooler upgraded, axel back exhaust, intake, bigger TB with spacer, and a tune from Unleashed.....435hp and 495 lbs torque.... with AWD......i destroy Scat Packs, Red Sport q60s, 335 and 340 BMWs with m packages......
‘08 to ‘13 altimas are probably the most unassuming vehicles on the road
The Crown Victoria is one of the most overlooked sleepers. Not only is it basically a four door Mustang, but it also has the reliability of a Toyota Camry and it's safer than most full size trucks. The added bonus is they're easy as pie to work on, and the parts are insanely cheap. You can't go wrong with a Panther.
I’ve owned the vic & a town car, and while they are some of the best cars ever made, I would never refer to them as a sleeper. You can push a little more power out of them but by the time you put the money into them you’re way better off just getting an actual performance sedan.
@@slappy4braps20 Dude, my 2011 CVPI SAP makes 289 horsepower. Had it dynoed. It's no slouch. Most of your older Mustangs can't even top that. With supercharger or turbo, it could easily make north of 600 hp. Have friends with them. My car is naturally aspirated with no stupid snake oil mods. The other difference between it and a normal CVPI is an all aluminum Typhoon intake, MSD coil packs, Holley throttle body, 93 octane and 3.27 lsd rear end.
You could get the g6 with the 3.9 and a 6 speed manual transmission
Also the gxp had the 3.6 dohc gtp came with the 3.9 ohv
Skoda Favorit
The 2008 Acura tl type s is a really good scat pack killer for 10k
They don’t beat the 6.4 scat packs, their quick but not that quick
None of these are sleeepers thats y we dont talk about em 😂
The bonneville gxp did not get a supercharged v8. It was an
N/A norstar V8 shared from the caddy making 275hp
RAV4 Sport with the V6 has 270hp and was the fastest Toyota 0-60 from 2006-2013.
Mitsubishi Diamonte Vr4...i so wanted 1 of those..
My Infiniti m56 is a sleeper 420 HP 5.6 v8 super rare and they keep up / beat scatpacks (videos on TH-cam)
I still want a 2007-2012 Nissan Altima 3.5 SE or SR 😍😍😍
YAYYYY
If some of these underrated ones were offered with a manual transmission, then I feel like they would be just a bit more popular, but they don't so 🤷🏾♂️
you overlooked the infinity 2003-2004 m45
the only gallant that was worth it was the vr4..the 4WS 2.0 turbo...in the mid to late 90s
I’m pretty sure the gen 6 regal gs just has a NA 3.6 no turbo
It does i got something mixed up
S*** back in the muscle car. Heyday, buick was one of the top dogs that four fifty five wildcat had five hundred and ten foot pounds of torque factory.
2003 Altima change the 3.5SE model was very important
The Accord V6 sedan with the 6 speed manual was definitely a hidden gem of a sleeper. Test drove one & with 250 hp, it was no slouch
I always beat those in my V6 Firebird. They had zero top end. After 70mph the were dogs.
@jefff6884 lmao I believe it! Hondas were never good about the high-end torque without boost
3rd gen Prelude Si will smoke most things running underrated vehicle pre VTech Ibam runner on it but same effect it doesn't lose power
