Well, quite. I dare say a vehicle with sufficient lift would be able to take a very slowly decelerating path, probably going round the world several times, as it bled off speed in the upper atmosphere... but a thermal protection system that could cope with such an extended heating phase would be a significant challenge to design, and I fear is outside the scope of GURPS Vehicles anyway.
