i doubt it, heli motors have alot less torque then the car motors if you put a heli
motor in their, depending if the esc will work on it you'll be lucky if it even
moves the car, it also depends on the size,

Sure you can.
What are the specs of the motor? And, what size vehicle are you planning to place the motor in to?

Incorrect.
There is a direct inverse relationship between Kv (rpm/volt) and Kt, the torque constant. So two motors of the same Kv will have exactly the same Kt.

The real problem is that car stuff is usually sealed to keep out dirt, while heli/plane motors are not.
