From what I've seen, though, most folks who actually put their money where their mouth is want more than "old, cheaper technology."
In the past the “performance” in performance cars was more of a suggestion than reality. Decals and sporty appearance with handling improvements. The cars couldn’t even be hot rodded economically because the entire driveline was weak.

We are so fortunate that we can buy cars with this level of performance at this price. If the cost of new is a barrier, buy a one or two year old car. Building a shitty performing version would be a mistake.
