The Mythbusters covered this myth and declared it "busted" FWIW.

They mounted a rocket engine with equivalent thrust to what was
supposedly used in the myth and mounted it to the back of a car they
set up for radio control and drove the thing while flying in a
helicopter.  Way cool... but I don't think they ever manage to get it
going very fast... like 130mph or something.

and Mr. Yip... good to see your name again even though you're 16v-less
these days.
