Meh. For me, "better" is not defined by which car is faster. Cripes, you can buy a friggin Hyundai that will SLAY a 70's or 80's 911.

I love the Miura, but I don't know if I'd be able to actually drive one, let alone afford one. But an Espada appeals to me as an attainable supercar that a fellah could actually USE. A 2+2 v12 GT for ~30k? I'd drive that to work, after dropping kids off to school, in the rain even. Who's going to do that in a Miura? Or even a Ferrari 365. Maybe a Ferrari Mondial though, for +- the same price, but less 70's ultra-cool mystique.
