A guy tried to follow me around a corner, and failed

I've been driving sporty cars for 50 years, but only have one story along these lines. On Highway 49 in the Sierra foothills, a pickup truck pulled onto the highway behind my '95 Miata. The Miata was supercharged, lowered, the whole 9 yards worth of mods; a track day toy that was street legal. The F150 pickup got on my bumper and I thought he was being silly, so I pulled over to give him enough room to pass in a straight section. He didn't, so I took off at about 80% of what the car would do. At the next curve I didn't even tap my brakes, just went for it. The pickup did not come out of that curve. I did not go back to look.
