A youngish guy, mid20's, who works the local speed shop has one of those older turbo Omni's. He's done other mods on it like suspension to hook up, fuel etc to make sure it doesn't blow up, plus larger turbo. I've seen his low 10 second time slips. The car still looks like a mundane Omni except he recently put nice wheels on it ...sticky rubber is required.
As a sleeper, I was also remembering that car that took part in the SCC Ultimate Street Car Challenge a year or two ago; it was a Hyundai 4 door sedan with an engine on both ends of the car, each engine driving the respective F/R wheels, moded to run on pure methanol; the guy only street races for money (my public safety comment delayed) and the thing is insanely fast, at least in the first 1/2 mile.
