Well, a Jeep Cherokee (not the Grand, but the classic) is
actually remarkably lightweight. The power-weight ratio is very
good. Now mod the suspension, exhause and intake a bit and stick
some racing wheels/tires on it and it'll do quite
well--especially at autocrossing.  It starts to float at 90
though.

My A4 is a sweet road car, and it "feels" a whole lot better at
cornering, but the actual performance really isn't any better
than my Cherokee was.  The Jeep would out-accelerate, but the A4
out-brakes.

A friend of mine has the all-road and actually uses it to haul
hay bales out into the field for her horses. The suspension is
just the ticket.
