What an obscure comparison. One's a british GT car and the other's a mid-engine italian exotic supercar from the better part of a decade later. I wouldn't even know where to begin.

No, no, no.

Who says the Miura has better 'handling and agility'? You have driven these cars back to back have you?

You know one reason why the Miura was never much of a racing car, unlike the DB4 GT Zagato? They had a major problem with front end lift at high speed. The extra width of the mid engined wouldn't make it more agile than the short wheel base Aston Martin at low speed (racing circuits...).

Daft camparison, don't bother next time...

Judge a car from behind the wheel, not by the spec sheet. There is more to handling than pulling 'g' on a skidpan.

Aston for sure.
I think after S8 is must be not easy to drive some right hand drive manual supercar, full with manometers inside
