    Route

    GM: 1,501 mi – about 23 hours 39 mins
    I can make it about 20, minus the woman.

    Commute
    GM: 47.2 mi – about 1 hour 2 mins
    I can make it in about 45 with reasonable effort

    I installed google maps on my phone few days ago and it usually overestimates drive times by 20-25%. When I check its recommended route its not always the shortest.

    When i was young and dumb i did this trip with two other friends.

    toronto to montreal - Google Maps

    Actual time - 4HRS 05MIN
    Average Speed - 180 KM/hr

    I was in my Mustang my friend had his Skyline he was running a V1 and ZR3's and the last guy had a Ford Lightning. To this day no one can believe that we did it that fast.

    x2, I didn't think it was a hot idea so I didn't post my exact trip, nor the exact times I go...

    If they want to follow me on my route, more power to them.

    Plus, its not like people on here get into a comfort zone and don't look for LEO's as far as they can see down the road just because they travel that road alot. I'm the opposite, I know all the ins and outs on my route so I check every single one.

    Also, he could have just simply followed me to work if they thought I was going to fly off the handle once out of sight, and then my 'cover' or route would be 'blown'.

    We beat the times, including our times to stop for gas, rest room breaks, and meals.
