It's called baiting. If someone is driving below the limit when you are behind, there's a strong chance they will floor it when you pass. They're just trying to set you up because they've heard it's under powered.
I get it all the time and choose the right gear so i'm ready and haven't been hung out to dry yet.

They are cruising at 90kph in a 110 limit. I use 4th and go to 130+ and they are up my clacker when I get back down near 110. Case closed.
Hopefully they will report those 86/FRS/BRZ's go better than they reckon they do in the magazines.
