If someone is riding my rear too close for comfort, I tap the brakes very briefly to let them know that I'm going to slow down. Once they adjust to my speed, I downshift from 6th to 3rd or 4th depending on my speed and let the Z slow down a bit more via engine brake (no brake lights). Invariably, they won't take notice, and as soon as I see their front end dip when they hit the brakes, I gun it and put some distance between us. It rarely takes more than a couple of those for them to back off for good - they hardly ever want to lead faster than me anyway.
