Would love to meet up with this asshat!

Had one the other day and not sure if the guy was trying to race, checking out my car or just a really, REALLY bad driver but he almost killed us both!
Was coming off the on ramp onto the highway and just hit traffic speed (a little over 100KPH) and pulled into the center lane to go around a slower truck. Noticed a newish Porsche 911 coming up beside me like a rocket in the passing lane. As soon as he got beside me he slowed right down and paced me.
Was some older guy (and I am no youngster so this guy was OLD) and he seemed to be ignoring me completely.
I was coming up to another slower truck so wanted to get over to the passing lane so sped up. He paced me. Slowed down. He paced me.. As traffic was piling up behind him he finally floored it and took off and I slid into the spot he just so abruptly left. We passed the truck and he stayed right beside me in the center lane. As I am a strong believer the passing lane is for PASSING and the center lane ws now clear other then the Porsche I signaled to go over and guess what he did? That's right, he paced me! No matter what I did he would not let me come over.
Eventually I caught him off guard and managed to get in behind him. He now went over to the far right lane annnnnnd... paced me! We drove on like this for a bit and I eventually came up to another truck. As he was in the right lane I was able to slip right into the passing lane and get around it.
So here is where he almost got us both! I pass the truck check to make sure all is clear (Porsche several car lengths back in the right lane) and start over into the center lane. This Dbag floors it cuts in front of the truck and slows down again right beside me as I am changing lanes. I just managed to abort the lane change in time and missed him by a fraction of an inch. As soon as I go back over he immediately whips back into the right lane and takes an exit that was only about 50 yards further up the road.
At no time did I try to play with him or do anything in response to his antics so it was not like he should have felt I was a willing participant in his little display. He hit speeds of better then 140KPH and dropped as low as about 80 and never once signaled a thing all on a very busy highway at rush hour. I was just trying to get home from work!
