Just cut the window yourself. You can also make the slider yourself, or buy a pre-made slider from your local race shop.

I think the window would need to be shaped a bit to conform to the door.You could most likely use the slider of a Manual crank windowed car.
Then again Lexan would not be street legal..

me either, sounds stupid for the weight savings, most people who are that serious remove the side windows. a broken window might slightly cut you, versus possibly having a chunk of plastic poking out of your carotid.

than again to win races there is a price.

A slider is a small moveable window that is typically attached to a larger non-moving window. See pics below of a Porsche and one of my Army buddies (RIP) sticking his head through a slider window on a helicopter.

Most racing clubs require removed side windows and a window net. Also, I think it would be too hot in the USA.

i've seen sliders on lots of other cars, i even know a guy with a 1st gen who has some (he streets a P port car).

that being said, every race car i've ever done is remover (or roll down) windows and a net, i'm not sure the sliders would even be legal?
