Of course once it hits the atmosphere it is going to loose speed much faster at Jupiter than the Earth.

A similar comparison would be between Venus and Earth (the difference in gravity would negligible). It would have to be one hell of a rock to make it all the way to the surface of Venus....and resistant to the effects of sulphuric acid on the way down.
