  Absolutely. There's a HUGE 4 door suburban that comes to the local track
quite frequenly. Its got a BIG lift and gigantic tires (you'd almost
need a ladder just to get into the thing) :-) It's all set up for offroading.
I have no idea what its got for an engine, but that beast will turn
consistant low 15's. Surprised the heck out of ME! :-)

  They're out there... :-)
