you fail. the engine in the rs200 is the much drooled over (though, certainly NOT by me) 3sge BEAMS edition.
1998cc NA engine that revs up to 9000rpm. basically, its toyota's version of a honda engine (ie. Hold On, Not Done Accelerating). you wait for a LONG time to develop power, and once you get that power, its usually time to hit the brakes for the turn.
its all the drawbacks of a turbo (waiting for power) without the nice things of having a turbo (ie. added power).
there are also 2 versions: redtop and blacktop.
i forget which, but one has VVT-i (intake side only) while the other has VVT-i on both intake and exhaust, which does change the power band.
want more info?
