Here in So. Cal, just seeing a CT9A on the road is a rare sight these days
I still stand by my previous comment

Sure the EvO was mass produced, at some level. Certainly not overly so, where the market was flooded w/them. It was a limited production run, marketed to a relative small niche segment

We are already seeing some price appreciation & I feel it will only continue.

When was the last time you saw one on the road

Besides mine, I saw one on campus, in a nearby city, one year ago last winter.

I've seen maybe 2 CT9A's on the road driving I think ever, outside of car show weekends in Carlisle or local NNJ meets we used to cruise too, and ones I've been paid to work on. Funny, no frigging lie see an EVO X almost everyday I drive somewhere.

I see 2-5 per week, during the short time in on the road. They are all over Fresno. Makes me jealous because I'm always on my civic LOL

I can literally count the ones in Panama City Florida on 1 hand... They are very few and far between here in southern Alabama.

The lack of performance on most small sporting cars these days where people want to be individuals and have fun again is going to keep these cars cost going up. When I mention tracking to guys I know, all of them want to try it, the thrill and speed. The Evo is the ideal weapon for the weekend warrior wanting something raw, individual and not mainstream.But I am glad most of them are under the thumb and are not out there doing it as there would be no space on the track for me..lol
