This reminds me of when I raced my friend's 2000 VW GTI VR6 at the track and smoked him both times. :)

...he was expecting to win by a mile and had no idea how fast my car was at all nor did I tell him beforehand.

No, it would've added over 1000 miles to the trip, made for atleast 3 13hr+ days of driving, and cut short time at our other places. Would've like to stop in for a few days, but not really do-able.
