Maybe, with a super engine.  I wouldn't try, since it could be fatal to the
drive train.  However, head off-road, and you'll get plenty of memorable
looks when others see where you can go.  Or you might do what I did when I
went to show off on the beach for my first off-road adventure.  The
spectators were all duly impressed that all four tires threw sand all at once
in forward and reverse while the tires dug holes and I got stuck.  :(
Since then I find all the satisfaction I need in just getting thru the rough
stuff without help and without breaking anything.
