I saw a Chevette with a Rat motor stuffed into the front. The guy had tried to do everything as stealth as he could, there was no scoop, the wheels were a bit larger and a lot wider but with dog dishes, the paint was new but not flashy.

If you just saw it sitting in the lot you wouldn't give it a second glance.

However, the minute he started it up you knew something was very, very "wrong".
Huge 3" exhausts with minimal mufflers made it's presence known from a long ways away, so as it rumbled by you searched out the clues, like the full roll cage, the setback in the driving position, the wide tires hidden by aluminum tubs inside the back seat. One thing that stuck out was the very high quality of the build.

The Prius could have been that, but for some reason, the guy just couldn't help himself and covered it with a questionable livery.
