I'd go even further and call it pretty much impossible. Our cars will never look and feel like the originals when moving. Plus you probably don't have a track in 1/10th scale to run them on realistically, even if they did.

This is not correct - but a common mistake. You can't just divide weight by 10. Weight does not depend only on the length but on the volume of the object. A 1/10th scale car has not only 1/10th of the length, but also 1/10th of the width and 1/10 of the height, so the volume is actually 1/1000th (10x10x10) of the real car - and that is pretty close to the weight of our models. 1300-1400g x1000 is 1300-1400kg - not a completely unrealistic weight for a real size car.
