Looking at all the Mopar bits in it and a awful lot of custom work like it has, its still probably a good 600hp+ engine with enough torque to tear a hole in the earth's crust... and if that doesn't = fun, nothing really will for you.
That's the problem with Europeans, they like to look down on their nose at some things like American cars, even though most of them are rattling around in rubbish little entry level BMW's, chavtastic Korean and Jap hatchbacks and dressed like a scrote in cheap Chinese clothes.

Look on the bright side, least I haven't bought anything near where you are.

Classic Carrera RS looks courtesy of a carbon body wrapped around a modern 911 C2 but with brilliant period touches like the Fuchs wheels and intake trumpets.
Stunning. I love it.
