Things I noticed, all the energy seemed to be sucked up by bouncing off the ramp. The cars suspension should have been stiffer/solid. The timing of the thrust could have been better too. I think if the balance was a tad better they could have gotten a decent flight.
Weeeellll...I think that would have gone beyond the mission objective which was to just essentially mount some motors on the car - and that's it. At the end of the episode Grant did explain something about sure they could have put fins on the car among other things but that would have gone way beyond what the myth states.
However, I wish they would have done all they could just to see how far they could have gotten it - balance, fins, etc. I bet they could have done at least 1000'.
