Don Cartsounis hails from Connecticut, and drives this turbocharged '62 sedan, running Porsche alloys. After a full body-off restoration, Don took his car to the track. Despite only making a few passes to date, fighting severe radial tire wheelspin, Don has run a best (as of this writing) of 14.67 @ 90 MPH. Don's confident that with more seat time and some chassis tuning, there is a lot more speed to be found in his '62.
