the motors are actually pretty quick stock if you can supply the power. I can't remember exactly, but its something simple to change.

it could be done very simply. you need to add more voltage to the motor when it turns on and off. Im not exactly sure how much voltage is applied to the wondow but lets say it is 2volts. If you change that to like 12 volts if it can handle it it will go alot faster. I did this in class to an RC car motor and it made it rev up to alot higher speeds.

why would it? and you don't have to make it go as fast as possible. even 2x faster would be nice.

yes it can be done very easily. find the specs on the window motor and see how much power it can take. then find a way to increase the voltage going into it. maybe you can run the power in series with the switch from another power source in the car to get the extra juice. maybe from an open fuse under the dash or something. I don't have power windows but would definatlty be intrested in the outcome if somebody did it.

yes the windows run off a 12v signal but 12v probably does not go directly into the motor.
