The exact opposite of a ricer. A Sleeper looks stock but is heavily modified to preform better. Sleepers are often, like ricers, economy cars. Unlike ricers, sleepers can also be regualr sedans or any other vehicle that was not meant to be a preformance vehicle. Sleeper cars are ussually modified with boost (super or turbochargers), transmisions, and sometimes full engine swaps. Many people who drive sleepers use them to hustle at the strip or avoid attention from the cops. Many auto makers offer factory sleepers that are a sport version of the origional economy sedan with very few external changes. Some of the best sleepers of all time came from the muscle car era. The 1972 Chevy Nova is considered one of the best sleepers. The Nova is one of the most popular models to get turned into a sleeper. Most sleepers aren't true sleepers because they will have aftermarker gauges visible (real sleepers hide them in the glove box), racing slicks and loud pipes. A true sleeper will not be exposed until they reach the end of the track.
Chuck's 1968 Mustang GT500 got spanked by a 1960 Chevy Nomad Wagon. Chuck was the victim of a big time Sleeper when the Nomad lifted the front wheels in the air and he proceeded to see nothing but tail lights down the track.

A "professional" wrestling move where you put the lockdown on someone's face in an attempt to cut off the air supply to their brain. Since this type of wrestling is fake as shit, the "sleepee" then pretends as if he/she has "gone under". This usually involves acting like your body has become totally limp and even taking it to the point of fake snoring. News alert: in reality, if someone cut off the oxygen to your brain, you wouldn't be snoring, you'd be fucking dead.

The executor of the sleeper (upon putting his opponent under and the ref ringing the bell) then jumps up, prances around the ring in victory and then humiliates his opponent by any of the following: leg dropping him/her; ripping a juicy fart in opponent's open mouth; depantsing him/her; writing embarrassing sayings (in marker) on his/her bare skin; pulling a "snake" out of a bag and laying it on his/her face; etc.

At some point during the humiliation of the opponent, the sleepee's posse (who has obviously been watching from the dressing room) comes charging out to the ring, intent on kicking the executor of the sleeper hold's ass. After a couple closelines and head butts, the sleeper holder usually slides out of the ring (without suffering much damage) and retreats to the dressing room, taunting the crowd and the posse in the ring, every step of the way.

Once all trouble has been cleared out, the sleepee is then put on a stretcher and dramatically carried out of the area.
Holy shit, I can't believe Rowdy Roddy Piper just put the fucking sleeper on Jimmy Supafly Snuka.
