[quartet singing] shoot the j! shoot, shoot, shoot the jaaaaaay... believe it! geico could save you fifteen percent or more on car insurance. in the world of high-performance automobiles,

there's a race to the top on the way. the top being a production car that can achieve 300 miles per hour. to give you perspective, 300 miles per hour, is approaching half the speed of sound. and right now, there's only three car comes the race. i paid a visit to one, headquartered in texas. this is what hennessey performance ener performance engineering is known for, exceeding in speed. turning hot cars into supercars. and this is a modified camaro that goes 0 to 60 in 3 seconds. its top speed, 217 miles per hour. 6 but that's not the texas-based company's fastest model. five years ago, founder and ceo john hennessey set a new record for speed in a production vehicle, with his 270-mile-per-hour venom gt.

tantalizingly close to the magic number. why is 300 the holy grail? >> maybe 100 years ago, there was the first car that could hit 100 miles per hour. and fast-forward into the late '90s, and what was the first production car that you could go buy that, you know, could break 200 miles per hour. and so, i think we're on the cusp. we have a car that has that capability. some of the challenges we were talking about earlier. >> reporter: that car is the venom f5. >> i'm fascinated by the fact you designed this from the grund-u. >> we wanted the best performing >>ter: focus has been purpose and that is -- >> to go 7.6 liter twin turbo engine. designers, were told form had to follow function. the car had to weigh less than 3,000 pounds but look amazing. >> i wanted it to have distinctive headlights. the headlights on a car are like

the eyes of a person. cool up with cool headlights. and they came up with an "f" shape for f5. >> reporter: there's other entrants in this race to 300. bugatti is also vying to be the first. >> reporter: you're up against some big names. >> sure. >> they have big resources behind them. you don't. you are putting this financing up yourself. >> right. >> reporter: do you stand a chance? >> i think so. i love being the underdog. i would much rather be the underdog than the one favored. i don't think we're going to see a car break 400 miles per hour, break 500 miles per hour. i feel like a 300-mile-per-hour production-series road car is the automotive mt. everest. >> i started racing when i was 12. >> reporter: travis is editor in chief of "road & track" magazine. how much of a disadvantage do you think that texas company is? >> hennessey's company is known

for tuning cars for a long time. they recently built their own car, the venom. building their own car from the ground-up, the first time ever, and claiming it's going to hit 300 miles per hour, is a really, really big challenge. >> reporter: and what is it that is so challenging about hitting that number? >> where do i start? i mean, ttechnology. when you go above levels of 250, 260 miles per hour, you're stressing the rubber in the tire and the compounds. if something were to fail at that speed, it would be catastrophic. these cars generate an enormous amount of heat. and the final thing is aerodynamics. when you drive into the air, the air will act as a wall as it gets faster and faster. it's pushing the car into the ground or generating lift. if you keep going faster, the car is going to fly away. you need the mixture of great aerodynamic packaging, heat 150

horsepow horsepower to make this a thing. >> location, ak lot of road to hit 300 miles per hour. they had the runway at kennedy space center. but he will need more than that to reach this goal. >> to run 300 miles per hour, we need to have a public highway that we can work with the state, whether it's texas or nevada, where we can close a highway to run. with five or six miles, that's what we need to run 300 and have room to slow down. >>s ha >> there's very few places that have that length of road. three-mile, four-mile straits. it's bumpy and it's unpredictable to do it on a road. achieving the top speed will be very difficult for wherever they can do it. >> reporter: building a car from the ground-up that can go that

fast is one thing. you think people propping down $1.6 million plus to buy one is another. but think then. hennessey said his first production run of venom f5s are already spoken for. it's not like something you're going to take to the grocery store. it's like having a work of art when people come over. >> kind of. but it's a hell of a speeding ticket to go with it. you're paying for something that's hand-built that no one else has. and you're paying for the bragging rights. you're paying to have something that is incredible, not just by the standard of automotive, but by the standard of all engineering. >> reporter: but for john hennessey, whose fascination started when he was a child, the venom f5 is more than bragging rights. his familye be nsidermoheutomive greats. >> the f5 is our legacy vehicle. that's the vehicle that 50 years

from now when i'm gone, that will be the vehicle that will be the

>> absolutely. you get close to themguy. and bought orchid. and i bought another one. and i promise you, i'm a normal -- >> reporter: you keep saying that. >> the guy that says it the most is probably the least likely to be no epr: we think that he protests too much because he knows what i'm about to tell you sounds crazy. but in his defense, he's not the only one who sends his plants to a kind of finishing school. these all belong to different people? >> almost all of them, yes. >> reporter: mark chadwick owns chadwick and sons orchids in richmond, virginia. he used to sell orchids. now, he boards them. >> people say, can you take care of my orchid now that it's finished blooming? now, i have a place to send my plants to camp. >> reporter: why don't people that throw them away? >> there's people that do that. >> reporter: why doesn't everybody do that? >> people feel guilty about

doing that. you wouldn't throw away your dog. >> reporter: i would if its ears were falling off. >> someone has attachment to this thing. it's like family to them. >> reporter: it can be hard to say good-bye. >> i have one of your orchids . >> reporter: he had to tell this woman her orchid may never bloom again. >> she said to bury it. >> reporter: how did she take it? >> there was silence initially. >> reporter: fortunately, most orchids survive. >> three pickups. >> reporter: after you pay your $2 per month boarding fee, you get your babies back in full bloom. and mark is not alone. there's orchid borders in most states. it's common. but normal? i'll let you be the judge of that. steve hartman, on the road, in richmond, virginia. that's the overnight news for this wednesday. for some of you, the news
