Taking him on alone unless you can fly ANYTHING bigger is folly, however there IS a GREAT way to kill him just not like you would think.

*FIRST* Scan his ship, if he is following you around this will be VERY EASY and its not hostile so just scan him in empire. Figure out his top speed based on fittings and make sure you are faster.

1. Dump the thorax, yeah you probably like it but its going to get destroyed.

2. Buy a Celestus, make sure your Gal cruiser lvl is High (atleast 4) and make sure you have the skill that boosts sensor damper effectiveness (try to have atleast 3, 4 if possible) and put in what you need to be faster than the cerberus (t2 AB or maybee an MWD depending on what he has)

3. DONT even THINK about using blasters/rails, fit 2 heavy missile launchers and use EMP ammo(also take explosive to use on the armor). also take 4 of the BEST medium emp damage drones you can get (t2 is EASY! to get for light/med scout)

4. Logic would suggest getting as close as possible, this is FALSE. You want to be between 15-20km from him so you can damp him below that range but still be able to warp scramble him. YOU NEED TO BE FASTEST SO YOU CAN DICTATE RANGE!!!!!!. Add one sw-900 drone (25m3 but will web the target if your not quite fast enough) and exchange some of your medium emp drones for lights so that you can have 5 out (2 lights>1 medium)

So to sumarize
1. Use a clestus NOT a thorax
2. Dont use railguns, use heavy missiles and t2 medium drones(emp)
3. Sensor damp him with 2 t2 sensor dampers
4. Jam him and keep range at 15-20km
5. Sit back and relax as he ralizes he cant hit you, not even with FOF missiles while your emp missiles/drones tear him apart in shor order.
6. IF YOU ARENT THE FASTEST SHIP YOU LOSE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fitting requirements (left over spaces option based on results of ship can)
High - 2 Heavy missile launchers
Medium - 2 t2 dampers, ab/mwd (based on ship scan), 20km warp scrammer
Low - Whatever you want (ex, speed mods, damage mods, cap regen)

**NOTE** you can basically neglect your tank as if you start getting hit the game is over anyway

This is how i put a smack talking pirate in his place.
