How does the top-tier luxury car do way out of its element?

Love this post! I always looked at especially the 2001-2003 and thought they could handle something, so I proved it. 5.7 inches of ground clearance and the rounded front and rear bumpers. My 04 has the same ground clearance but as time went on you can see they squared off the bumper giving it a lower stance, hence more scraping....and I'll bet the 460 can barely navigate a chuckhole. I've included pics of my 03 in a dry lake in Oregon that took some technique to get to, and after.
