street sleeper

A vehicle that has been mechanically tuned for performance, but looks visually very similar to (or the same as) the original vehicle.
Street sleepers are intended to surprise race challengers who underestimate their performance.

"damn, that must have been a street sleeper, there's no other way it could have beat me!"
