Re: [DML] Re: windows



The studies on the increased drag from open windows only showed a slight 
increase in the coefficient of drag for a vehicle. THis will effect 
fuel economy less than 1%. However, AC can affect fuel economy and 
power up to 10%.

The main enjoyment of real windows is you can cruse in your car and wave 
and talk to people just like other classic cars. You can go thru a 
drive through and get your food without opening a door. You can also 
drive with the window down and enjoy the fresh air.

As for the cost. The main reason it is so expensive is because the parts 
are custom made. If enough people wanted do this, the cost would drop 
significiantly. Probably to as around $1000 per door.


It seems like a lot of money but driving a D with real windows is a 
totally different car.
