Ive learned that cruise control is my friend when I cant hold back anymore.
...and when they tailgate me i jsut deactivate it and let the car slow down to 50mph or so.

Ah, a typical case of BDO's... (Brainless Driving Organisms. )
Believe it or not, here in GA, trucks and huge SUV's try to do that... Not Porsches's, not BMW's, not ricers, but Escalade's, Envoy's, and F250's... Do they think that their 3 tons of hunk of metal have any chance next to an S2000 ???
It gets worse... They also try it when I am riding my Honda 919... I mean come on... A truck, no matter how souped up it is, versus a 900cc 420 lb bike... No brains, or a sense of physic of the world they live in... what so ever...
When I am on the bike, I smoke them on the next red light. When I am in the S2000, I don't even care. I never race them. I refuse to create danger for myself and others because of some BDO's...

Maybe I got used to it, never felt the CR-kit is THAT aggressive (look at how high the car sits!!!):

This has been happening to me for 19 years (since I got my driver's license). So I think it's just a personality certani people have. Being passed means their speed slowed down and they need to pick it back up. Happens to me all the time, whether I'm in a sports car, or a beater. Nothing unusual here. 
Just those typical flucuation drivers most of the time IMO, but added incentive when it's a sports car.

Sounds like a bad driver to me. File under the same category as the yahoos who are driving slow and then track your speed as you go to pass them, or do pass them, and they tailgate you for a mile or two until a curve comes around and they slow down.
I thought it was just me
