It's not that easy to make a car that is isolated become a communicative car that feels like an extension of the driver.

I've driven a well modified one at an autocross to, it just felt like a much faster but still dead feeling version of the stock one. :shrug:

I wouldn't call that a request for it to be hardcore either. Even the slowest, cheapest boxster is extremely fun to drive and extremely communicative, but I'm not sure anyone would ever call it hardcore.
