You are fudging your numbers. The ideal adiabatic flame temperature for wood is 3,596 F. For gasoline (in the car) it would be 3,880 F. Only fused quartz comes close to the temperature you cite. The more common forms of glass (e.g., auto glass) have a high melting point closer to 1,100 F. The car burned itself up.
Maybe that's a lesson not to shortcut research. I found the data on the internet also, but knew what I was looking for and where to look. The technical areas of Wikipedia are pretty trustworthy.

Somebody else is fudging the numbers. I grabbed those numbers off Google real quick.
