Man, I don't know if I agree or disagree with you... never drove a new Porsche (would like to at some point).... did some older ones. And of course my 68 Vette with a 327 , Bow Tie heads and several others afterwards with modern stuff. I liked my old 327 which just made song when it wound up; nothing else sounded like it.
I have flown WW2 ground attack single engine planes with massive radial engines making a lot of sweet noise above the noise floor. If you offer me up a modern plane with all of the technology, I'll take a plane from the 1940's. with a piston driven engine Maybe not as sophisticated, but Gin Gut punch which makes a difference; and quick in the turns.
