VIDEO: 170 MPH In A Ferrari 430 Scuderia

So, how many of you have been to a Ferrari track day where owners of Maranello's finest get to ring out those -- predominantly -- garage queens? No? No one?

Well, in that case let's get down to it.

In the following video we have a Ferrari 430 Scuderia bombing it around the track. And as you can see, this driver is not taking it easy as they cut turns close and rolls over rumble strips.

But probably my favorite part is when the driver hits 270 km/h -- 170 mph -- in the Scuderia in top gear. The car just sings for days.

Enough of my talking, more tape watchin'. And now, onto the video...


Where are my friends with their Ferrari 430 Scuderias and Monza track days? The best I can hope for is a ride around the McDonald's parking lot in a rust-coloured Datsun 280ZX with a faulty clutch. No wonder I'm so cynical.

So the story goes that YouTube member "Marchettino" flew shotgun in his mate's Ferrari 430 Scuderia at some sort of invitation only track day for Ferraristas. Speaking of which, there's a nice selection of Maranello muscle there. I think I saw (and correct me if I'm wrong) two 430s (white and red), a red 360, a black 458 Italia, a red 599 and a silver 575 M. Man, my Jealous-O-Meter is at like 11 right now...

The car does sound great at that speed but I sincerely hoped for the driver to go faster. I regularly go over 270kmh on the Autobahn and have even gone faster than 300kmh (over 200mph) on the Autobahn many times. If anyone does need a list of the best spots to legally go over 200mph in Europe, feel free to ask me :)

Here's a good marketing idea for Ferrari... All buyers of Ferrari cars are expected to attend at least 1 Ferrari Track day in their vehicle. If you can afford to buy this car...you should be able to afford to race it as well.
