I know exactly what you mean by "the spirit of the car". A lot of what people are willing to accept is psychological. If the car is slammed (lowered) and big wheels/tires are put on, they tell themselves they are really riding in a supercar. In reality, driving the car is far less "fun" and certainly less balanced. By the way, I've also tracked cars and there you are looking for the best lap times and not a "balanced" fun drive. Taking a properly setup track car on the streets is also a disaster if you really enjoy driving. I guess after so many years, I just don't think you can really have both. Even the "supercars" I've owned in the past were balanced for the streets.
