My push to start car does this if you push the button without applying the brake.

My wife's requires an odd sequence of button and brake pushes to make it happen, but it's possible.

Have you tried electronics? 5,000 RPM should do the trick. 7,000 RPM for those extra-tough jobs.

And I've heard it's much easier to make it happen in ehm... older cars.

Sure, but when you arrive at your destination you (typically) can't turn the engine off without turning the radio off too.

My VW keeps the radio on until the driver opens their door; passengers can get out with the engine off and the radio keeps playing, which is nice.
