For safety reasons, you can't run one off the showroom floor, you have to add some things like roll cage, harnesses, fuel cell, things like that. The production classes in SCORE and Best in the Desert actually run some pretty stock vehicles. I even ran a class 11 (stock VW bug) one year and finished the Baja 500. It was restricted to a stock 1600 motor, stock steel wheels, original sheet metal, and stock suspension geometry. The truck and SUV classes are similar and the H3 that Rod Hall raced in the 1000 a couple of weeks ago did well.
