the core of some older ceramic cats can break down quite badly, in which case yes. a quality metal cat should leave you dying of boredom.

Is there not enough other stuff in the smoke to kill you in an enclosed space?

no, it's not possible with a modern car (petrol or diesel).

I'm interested as to why you're askign though?

Of course it's possible. Carbon Dioxide will kill you just as effictively as Carbon Monixide as you are displacing the oxygen, (has to be within a few percent of 21) with a gas, or more correctly a mixure you can't breathe.
