If u wanted a sleeper,(I think that's what you said) go with the GTO and
remove all the GTO names. It will look like all other cars but can kick
their............ Good bang for the buck.
The Impala is way to heavy for its power plant, a common complaint among
owners. A few were successful with a big block transplant install in it.
Could look the sleeper part, and roomy but............ IMO not worth the
work.
To find the perfect sleeper, find out what car is most popular in your
area, stuff the most HP in it you can, Then you will blend in.
Other good thing about a sleeper is it doesn't attract police eyes.
Until they stop you.

rear suspension is a liability.
If I were looking for a 4 seat sports car in the $10K range I'd buy a '05
or newer Mustang GT... although it doesn't fit your
"not-in-everyone's-garage" criteria... probably a lot of fun though. It would
be the most modern
sports car you can buy in that price range.
