I think you're still not quite getting the point of what I want. It's not for racing, or even travelling at high speeds (no drifting, or at least not much). The goal is to have something that cruises comfortably on dirt. There are a lot of places hereabouts (northern Nevada/northeastern California) that I'd like to go to camp/hike/ride the mountain bike, where you may have to drive anywhere from 10 to 50 miles or more on dirt to get there.

The reason I'm taking the Bearcat and similar cars as inspiration is because they come from an era before there were a lot of paved roads.
