Ferrari Scuderia owners assemble for Southern California gathering [w/VIDEO]
Ferrari Scuderia Gathering - Click above for high-res image gallery
It's a beautiful sight - a Ferrari 430 Scuderia pulls out of a parking lot and onto the street, its 4.3-liter V8 changing from an angry rumble to a screaming stallion at 8500 rpm as it accelerates down the road. Now... multiply that by 22. That was the scene in Southern California this weekend where nearly two dozen Ferrari Scuderia owners (16 430 Scuderias and six Scuderia Spider 16Ms specifically) gathered for a mini car show and drive. Fortunately there were plenty of photographers on hand to capture the event, and one, Andre Ravinowich was kind enough to provide us with a high-res gallery. You can also check out www.speedandmotion.com for additional photos and videos, one of which you can watch after the jump.

I wonder how many of these buyers would have purchased it for its exclusivity...
For them, that day is the only day when they feel like 'us' on the road! haha

Interesting that none of the Scuderias in attendance were in the release color, that nice silvery blue . . .

The ordinary Ferrari F430 owning peasants need not apply.

Well, I can't say that west coasters are wealthier than their east coast counterparts, but they certainly are flashier. I live in Irvine and its nothing to see this kind of extravagance tooling around. Just last week at a traffic light found myself in a 1 million dollar automotive sandwich - there was a Maybach 62 on either side.

Watching the video, does anyone notice that the shift speeds are not as fast as they had imagined them to be?
They seem a lot slower than in all the reviews I've watched.
