Sorry I am late. I could do a more in-depth review, but this car is so boring in stock form, I couldn't do anything that is worth your while.
What's it like to drive a stock RS200 in this game? Like shoving three bland slices of white bread into your mouth all at once with no glass of milk within 2 mile radius. You don't have much option to spice it up either: max horsepower for the Beams is 371(default 207), and 1099kg minimum weight. At best it could earn class A, maybe S? Not enough to light the road on fire in this crazy game with 1100 hp GTRs.
The gearing may be suitable for quick launch, but what good is a quick launch when there's only 207hp? In 1999 when RX7 FC with 210hp was a thing of the yester-decade? 1st gear is too short to drift through Tsukuba hairpin sized corners, and 2nd is too long for this car to use any torque due to lack of power. If the weight transfer is any good, it might be able to do something, but no. It can't drift.
The drift tune import version feels snappy and exciting even with a frugal 300hp, and it can add around 410hp to the stock 276hp with the available turbo upgrade. The dealership version doesn't allow any turbo but it lags behind. Its relative lack of competitiveness against other cars discourages any attempt at modifying it seriously, and it lacks any character in stock form.
It's a huge letdown because here is how the real RS200 handled on a gymkhana course(Starting 1minute 4 seconds). It is a handful, looks pretty exciting:

The game's RS200 is void of any redeeming qualities, it is an in-game vehicle equivalent of a dry, TESCO brand, mass produced white bread, well past its sell-by date. And the bag has been left open by your careless dad halfway through.
