I used to get that type of crap fairly often in the 911. I had an old 80's Bronco II almost roll at 90 in front of me on the freeway once. I'm pretty sure he had to change his shorts after, I know that I did. I had a guy in a diesel 3/4 ton pickup follow/race me once. It was pretty amazing. He pretty much kept up the who way. Those big turbo diesels can do amazing things. Most of the rest I managed to either defuse by slowing way, WAY down until I was too boring or by just dropping a gear or two and leaving them behind. I don't get it quite as much now in the miata, but I still do get it some. I've had kids in hot sounding mustangs try to goad me into a race in the miata. I just laugh in my little 8 second 0-60 car. I'd leave them behind in the twisties, except in Houston except for the occasional on/off ramp every road is several lanes wide, and straight as an arrow for 10 miles.
