Shawn Bassett is our type of dude. With our type of car build. Clean/engineered enough for a Build Bio episode, but built to be used. Heavily. Check out what his time attack car can do out there in the burnyard.

In case you thought you need a well-sorted, super-clean car to go racing, here's one that proves otherwise. It's Datsun 240Z owner Shawn Bassett bought off Craigslist for $1100 that started out as a ratty, Bondo-covered basket case and slowly evolved into the time-attack beast you see here.

By: Hoonigan If we were to add a "rags to riches" story to the book of time attack, this would be it. Shawn Bassett knew he wanted a 240z after watching one clean up at an autocross way back when,...

The Toyo Tire Treadpass was, as it usually is, full of some of the best cars at SEMA.

For the most part, these are cars that have all been built in a very Speedhunters-esque way, and each one easily deserves a feature. In the company of so many quality builds, one in particular stood out; Shawn Bassett’s full carbon 240Z.
