Off-Roading: Take the Lightning off-roading?
How far do you think I would make it in knee-high grass? Knee-high mud? How practical is my 5 inch ground clearance?

Assuming your doing 140 MPH, or better, I would guess you would go about 150-300 yards or so in the knee-high grass or mud. The clearance with the front spoiler shouldn't be an issue after the first second or two.

Since your posting was at 2am I am guessing you've already found out.....how was the walk home? I've seen snowmobiles with enough momentum cross ponds, so if you find a good mud bog off a nice stretch of highway I think you've got it!!
