A rocket car is a land vehicle powered by a rocket engine. They are very fast, due to the rocket in the car (Rockets a very fast). I like rockets.
Because rockets have the highest thrust/weight ratio of any jet engine, very large accelerations and high speeds are possible. Rocket engined drag racers are banned in many places due to the dangers and extreme performance that is possible.
