I'm beginning to think that it was rather a wives tale than actual fact. I've never actually seen any proof that GT2000 was as an actual release. Though there was some GT2000 box art, but purely as a Playstation 2 game case mock up. Much like GT4 Mobile, as it has had a UMD and box art picture floating around as an example coupled with the PSPs initial announcement.
I believe GT2000 was a
working title just like Vision GT, a basic tech demo showcase. There was a demo from the GT2000 timeline, which has been confirmed by amar212 because he has it

. What I might add, has anything actually surfaced so far about GT4 Mobile aside from box art and a rebranded GT4PS2 trailer? Is it simply another working title for Gran Turismo for Boys?
Kazunori has stated that PD tested Gran Turismo 2 on the PSP, but due to the LCD screen being able to clearly show how poor quality it was, they had to make a compromise in detail between what the original PS and PS2 can do. I believe this to be the same case with GT2000, GT2 on PS2 and now Vision GT, GT4 on PS3.
So yes, besides my crappy comparison, GT2000 & Vision GT were and are respectively the future of GT. Roll on e3 2006
