I voted for the miura. If possible please present the info under relative subheadings, it was rather hard to read the relevant info and skip the crap-for example:

Engine Specs: 6.2L V8
Transmission: 5 speed Manual
Top Speed:280km/h

I don't really like the Miura because, like every other classic Lamborghini, it was never really finished because of lack of time, money and patience. I've read two revivews of that car; the first one broke down in the middle of Monaco and the second one caught fire.

I don't really like the look of the Miura either. Well it's not ugly or anything, but it's not decent looking considered it's a sportscar from the 60's. There were loads of better looking cars back then.

FInally, someone who shares my thoughts. Everyone always talks about how it is the most beautiful car in the world but I really don't see that.

I like the Daytona. I think it's a really cool looking car. It's probably the last real Ferrari GT ever made. The drop-top GTS is alright, but my favorite 365's would be the race versions. Oh boy, were they pretty. And they're loud.

Pretty much summed it up.

I took out the parts I wouldn't have said.

The Muira gets the good looks award, but the Daytona isn't half bad looking itself.

I think the Ferrari looks good for what it was back in the days. The shape reminds me of a C4 convertible. The Miura reminds me of the old Lotus Europa S

Oh come on. You know the Daytona was the last real Ferrari GT. You just refuse to admit it.

Couldn't have said it better myself...The Ferrari is a classic, so is the miura, but I just like the ferrari better...
