Oh ya, that's doable!
Planet Mars here I come!
Quote [Ok, well lets see, one of my gem 60 motors puts out roughly 785 KN of thrust and weights about 33800 kg, our cars weight almost 3000 lbs so roughly 1360 kg so one motor would accelerate the car at a rate of about 22.3 m/s^2. The motor burns for about 90 sec so your final velocity would be 2007 m/s adding some hand waving air resistance numbers this turns out to be about 4000 mi/hr (mach 5.8). Your 0-60 time would be .000334 sec and as a bonus your exhaust temperature would be around 4000 deg F
It might be a little pricy but i think it would be worth it!!
Although i would suggest calling up kalecoauto about getting a heavy duty parachute braking system]
