The Advanced DC motor is about the size that my 1,400 pound commuti-car uses and it seems like a perfect sized motor for a motorcycle, I would worry about burning it up in a heavier car.
I would aim for a 9" motor if you can get one, if that 6.7" motor was cheap or free then I would say go for it! but as it is I think it's undersized and even the Advanced DC K91-4003 motor that is about the same size but rated for a higher voltage so they give specs for those higher voltages puts out a peek of 29hp and a continues 10hp at 96v, so you would be working that motor really hard to get it to move a full sized car down the road.
