I guess in many ways I think modern cars are too refined for me, also. It takes the fun out of driving. But my personal taste is for a smooth engine in addition to a fun driving experience. A smooth engine is one modern nicety that doesn't detract from the experience for me.
I feel like you would love the E36 M3. It's got great handling, is fairly lightweight and simple by today's standards, but has one of the smoothest engines out there. Early on when I started doing track days, some of my instructors had E36 M3's and they were always fun for ride-alongs.
