What you are missing from your analysis is the drag coefficient and that fact that the car would reach terminal velocity rather than continue accelerating at 9.81 m/s2. I have no idea what the drag coefficient is of a car falling wheels first but I'm guessing the terminal velocity is <75m/s. So while it is possible it isn't all that impressive.
