Ditto, and when I have DB's that tail gait I give them a brake check that usually keeps them away from me for the rest of the time.
Trucks are ridiculous especially when they are trying to keep up or race. Usually I will stay even like they are really doing good until 3rd gear then I just leave them behind like they are sitting still. Going into heavy turns I have many people try to follow me and they end up slamming on their brakes. What is funny is that are these turns I have had vette owners slow or brake in the turn as well, I had one Audi R8 give up the turn as well and slow. Another one I hate is when people know you are coming through and moving faster, but they change lanes to block you off. I like the acceleration capabilities of the Z I can usually pass the car that was trying to block me as soon as they get over to block the clear lane.

Happens to me all the time. I have a 70 mile round trip commute daily and been rear ended 3 times in the past 3 years. Not in this Z...yet. I've adopted the philosophy that brake checking them just pisses them off and puts the car at risk. So now I just slow down. The closer they ride, the slower I go. Sometimes, below 50. I know I'm fast and couldn't care less if they know it. My logic is that I have super good brakes, but they don't. If they don't have enough sense to leave a reasonable stopping distance between us, I have enough sense to leave enough for both of us. Then when we've gone slow enough for long enough, they snap and come on around. I often greet their angry stares and hand gestures by holding my phone up to my ear like I'm talking on it and waving while grinning like an idiot. Another SOB on his cell phone!
Like I'm just too damn stupid to talk and drive at the same time. It's a riot pissing them off and keeps the car out of danger at the same time. That's just wrong. huh?
