Three? Breakin' the rules...
Not in order.
1995-1997 (97 the best) Mercedes C36AMG. Sleeper rating: 10. This car is not the fastest of the dogs on the block, but is well made, sized right, and handles better than any sedan with a decent ride should.
E39 BMW M5. Too heavy, too much understeer, too much MSRP, but so what? It still hands out ass-kickings without problem and rates an 8 on the sleeper scale.
WRX Sti. The sleeper rating is only 2, but so what? This car seats four (eight if you're hauling Micheal Jackson wannabes) and rips Porsche drivers new orifices.
Mercedes E55-K. 0-60 in 4.2? In a 4200lb four door? The laws of physics are being bent by AMG. In Thrust we Trust.
Audi RS6. 450hp? WAGON? AWD? The MSRP is too high, but the car is outstanding. Sleeper rating 11!
W220 2002+ Mercedes S600. Twin turbo V12 is the most outrageous driveline installed in anything that isn't Ferrari-knee-high-to-a-kindergartener.
Mercedes W124 E500. Heritage counts, baby. The E500 still brings lots of performance to the table and can run with most modern sedans. Shocking for such an old design. Stealth-fighter rating 11. This thing is off the radar scopes until it's taillights are fading.
Anyone drive the 1988 BMW M3? The four cylinder offers less power than new 3-series, but that original M3 is SWEET. The engine makes race car sounds, the handling is race car superb and the ride streetable. Only a two door and the fender bulges and wing are giveaways, but it's an amazing car that was 10 years ahead of it's time.
