Got to take an F430 Scuderia around the track today!

I was able to do a track tour with an F430 Scuderia today - what an unbelievable machine! The sound of the engine is intoxicating and it is such a well-balanced and responsive machine. The speed comes so easily, you truly feel like you are in a racecar. I was as giddy as a little school boy

There were also some Gallardos, an SLS, R8, "standard" F430 and Ferrari California among others. Here are some pics (none of the people are me) - enjoy!

V8. I wish it was the v10. Would have kept up with the sls better. I got up 120 so no complaints about the experience though. Fun time. You took out the black Ferrari with yellow stripes?

Imagine Lifestyles ran this event, it was more track tour than anything, but still amazing to drive an F430 Scud

Yes, the scuderia had the yellow stripes, although the non-scuderia F430 had a tune and Tubi Exhaust

Their website isnt that great or updated...trying to figure out what the cost is?

I did see the "Average Costs" disclaimer beside the insurance options...pretty expensive.
