If you turn up to the drag strip in a pickup truck, you’re either (A) incredibly confident in the stock power of your big V8 or turbodiesel, or (B) behind the wheel of a knockout-punching sleeper. Today, we can positively say that this Dodge is from the latter camp.
Meet the ‘Ramaro’, a four-wheel-drive 1988 Dodge Ram that can out-sprint even the most hallowed of Japanese supercars – a Nissan GT-R. Underneath the hood you won’t find a 360ci V8 or a Cummins diesel, but rather a GM LS2 V8 that packs a PT8891 Precision turbocharger at 8 psi, a built 4L60-E transmission, an intercooler, and a 100 shot of nitrous. Watch what it does to the GT-R, below.

In most comparisons, the GT-R would be the first off the line, but the four-wheel-drive equipped Ram absolutely leaps past the Nissan, shimmies back and forth on its suspension, and cruises to a sizzling 10.9 second pass at 122 mph. In addition to it being a tremendous run, the video’s creator notes that it’s also Ramaro’s first 10 second pass.
According to Bad Bowtie Productions, the GT-R was running various bolt-on components, sipping race fuel, and tuned to 650 horsepower. That’s not a shabby recipe either. Anyone up for seeing the Ramaro face-off against this 700 horsepower Buick LeSabre sleeper?

 

This ’77 Buick LeSabre Might be the Ultimate Sleeper

by Zach Doell






No matter what car you’ve got, you can almost always find someone of comparable speed to race against at your local drag strip – even if that car is as slow and lethargic as a 1970s land yacht.However, the notion of “the sleeper” radically upsets that balance. Pull up next to an unassuming ‘70s family cruiser in your new Camaro, and you just might have your doors blown clear off. Let this be a shining example.
At face value, this car looks like a typical 1977 Buick LeSabre, albeit equipped with some slick tires. On the inside it is a vintage LeSabre, still sporting its original interior, dashboard, radio, and air-conditioning. But underneath the hood, things start to get interesting.

The Buick trades its standard engine for a 385ci Chevrolet small block LT1-based V8 and adds a shot of nitrous for good measure. The owner says the motor alone puts 400 horsepower to the wheels and 700 horsepower when using nitrous, which we full heartedly believe, because the 4,200-pound car just blasted through the quarter mile in a startling 9.85-seconds.
Who said late ‘70s cars were dull?

That truck would be sweet to have especially on a freeway where people would not expect it what so ever.
