Shawn Dziire grew up in the world of motorsport, and always dreamed of building a 9-second car, as well as starting a business helping others build their dream cars.

It’s safe to say he has achieved his dreams. His incredible E30, which has a big turbo 2JZ at its heart, has recorded a best run of 9.4 seconds! And watching it take off from the line will stop your heart for a moment. How he keeps that thing in a straight line is remarkable.

We hope you enjoy this awesome story of persistence, bravery and incredible motoring passion.

Shawn, we salute you!
