It's actually not rocket powered car. It's rocket powered airplane that flies extremely close to ground. At that speed, aerodynamics matter more than wheels, so all controls have to be done by flaps and slats. Those flaps have to be adjusted to provide lift so the wheels don't dig into ground, but not too much lift so it doesn't fly away. To me that makes it even more boring. F-14 could do supersonic 3G turn and land on a carrier. This can stay close to the ground, how cool.
