Look at the Russian SPM-3 which is very fast but very lightly armored, relatively speaking.

You could buy your own Barrett Light-50 and penetrate with it. But you better be a good shot because they would see you PDQ.

Suggestion: always keep a TOW or a couple RPG rounds handy as back-up.

BTW will try to find a good pic of the SPM 3.
Here's a pic of the next gen patrol vehicle. Not really impressive.
