How far is Far enough?

Last night was on my way home with Rob and a friend who owns a SX Corolla. Now the friend was sure that his car would give mine a run for it's money, so we come up to one set of traffic lights and Rob very kindly pulls over behind me to let this friend have a go. Thanks to an absolute shocker of a start it was an interesting race. Next traffic lights Rob does the same thing. He gets another go at me. This time was a bit better. Absolutely blew him away. Was ahead by the end of the intersection and was just pulling away at a very rapid rate. When I got home Rob goes, "I give you another go, and you stuff it up." What I realised was that in that second run, I stopped accelerating and just cruised as soon as I knew it was over (when I was about a body length ahead). He thought I had stuffed up the race and didnt beat him by much.
So how far is far enough? Do you have to go the whole hog and just leave them 100 meters behind? This is assuming the race is one-sided. What if it's close? When do you stop?
