You dont see them around because they dont respond well to any sort of bolt on engine modification, the bottom end can't handle any sort of significant boost, and the car still handles like a pig with a complete aftermarket suspension setup.

Sorry if it sounds like I'm bashing on the owners, but i've modded and autocrossed a 2000 gt fedspec, so this is from personal experience. They are decent little cars out of the box, but they just arent worth the trouble when it comes to modification.
