OK so in the U-toob videos the really cool rally cars have windshield wipers that go like 3 X normal speed.( to go with the extra squirters) Where do I get some? Is there some trick rewiring the motor?

Don't worry about the motors, worry about all the linkage. Ford used spherical bearings and rod ends in the Escort Cossie things. Yikes!

I don't think you dare up the speed with Volvo's set up, can't 'splain it but the little sump of cable they have around the cam thing i belive you have a hard time keeping up.

'sides, since when does it rain ever?

Besides a spud sliced in half and carefully rubbed all over is 4.76X better than Rain-X

I just want faster wipers for tech, it's painful watching them squeek slowly across the dry windshield... and back :-)
