My life has never been adversely impacted by the speed at which the 
standard window motors operate, when they are operating correctly.   I don't need 
to have a glass guillotine in my door.   All the work that people invest to 
make their windows go up and down slightly faster strikes me as grossly 
wasted effort.

The Vadar conversion does have one great advantage--significantly reduced 
weight.   If you're on an all-out weight-savings kick, that has merit.   But 
honestly, you'll never tell the difference in weight from behind the wheel.  
 The only way I could justify spending that kind of money would be if I 
bought a Pantera in which the window mechanisms were entirely missing.   If I 
had to buy *something*, I'd buy Ted Mitchell's setup.   But if I already had 
a stock setup, and it worked, I'd keep it.   If it didn't work, I'd fix it.
