How good are Evo's in the sand?

I was wondering how hard it would be to make a Evo VIII capable of doing some light off roading. By that I mean mostly the beach, and muddy river beds. It was just curious to find out if Evo's do good in the Sand and mud.

The Evo was/is a rally car. So what do you think? Just be careful not to bottom it off and rip off the front bumper.

are you serious man., these cars are made for dirt roads and muddy paths.............just dont get too carried away.

check out some of the local rally's in your area. they should have some smooth dirt/mud track to race on.....you should have a blast there

time spent in the sand x 10 = time spent with a shop vac

I took my car "off roading".....ended up going through a little dip too fast and dug my new SE lip into some gravel :-( I scratched the sheettors out of it haha and it broke some of the clips holding it.

I've taken mine on the beach plenty of times and it has no problem, good way to attract the attention of some girls too.
