A lot of people are idiots, when I was at carlisle last month some guy came up to one of my friends and asked where he could get "the cop chip" for his grand marquis.
This would be a sleeper, its supercharged and looks horrible.

I'm not sure if the OP actually knows what a sleeper is, let alone half the people in this thread.
A S/C 3800 in an old regal or something is a sleeper. A DSM is not a sleeper, people have known what he 4G63 is capable of for the past 20 years.
If you see the front and rear GTP bumpers, hood and exhaust, you know whats going on under the skin.

lol right?!
Nobody expects squat out of em, and just thinks they are an every day mazda6.
How about a Mercury Capri...basically a Foxbody Mustang without the Mustang nameplate.

While i agree with you on turboing the Crown Vic(that would be awesome, OP needs to check out "the Law" on youtube). The GM 3800 Supercharged motor has been out 20 years and people know about it. Its not a secret. Its not as widely known as the 4G63 but since ZZP has been around the motor has gotten a TON of attention, especially with the bolt on intercooled turbo kits.
Only way i would call it a sleeper is if you shoved the motor into a NON-factory supercharged version, like the regular grand prix. If you see the front and rear GTP bumpers, hood and exhaust, you know whats going on under the skin.
OP, what about a motor swap like a 4G63T into an old Hyundai Excel. Its been done before and can make great power. Hard to find an Excel but if you do the swap is quite cheap. These days swapping in motors from different manufacturers is much easier than it used to be. Engine management has it down to a science now with companies like Mega Squirt, SDS EFI and big stuff 3.
I love Capris, but they go for waaaaay more than $1500.
The old turbo Mopars are a good candidate.
Better still, you can swap the 2.5T into an older Grand Caravan, or the 2.4T (SRT-4) into the late 90s models. Now THAT is a sleeper.
Also in the turbo Mopar category; all you need is a Neon (1st of 2nd gen) and throw in a 2.4T, which you can get cheap out of a PT Cruiser GT. Anything that doesn't look like an SRT-4 doesn't get a second glance.
Great cars, waaaaay more than $1500.
And don't forget the Merkur xr4ti. Basically a fancy euro Mustang SVO. They can be had surprisingly cheap.
Last but not least, the old Volvo 240 turbobricks can be tons of fun for cheap.

enough to where if im lined up against one and know its gonna happen at the light. the GTP badge is right there on the door. big bold chrome letters too. cant miss it. and i believe it states supercharged right under the big GTP.
I searched Craig list and found these things everywhere cheap. I'll look into these for sure
Any reason not to use a mid 90s stang?
I see a lot of good running V-6 for under $2k.
Im familiar with the 4.6 engines. SO throwing some boost at one would be right down my alley if I swapped one.
I'm just really curious of what your purpose with this car is.
You just want to go fast as cheap as possible? That sounds like an accident waiting to happen!
Or are you planning on taking it down a drag strip as a sort of joke...like this?
