I was on I-275 this morning :). How about the ITS... do you see many of them around town? I've seen maybe 2 ....
I'm down in Lexington area, but I frequent Cincy. I've seen more DE5s down here than FL5s. I only know of 1 local BB FL5, but more than a handful of FK8s here. I've seen a ton of FL5s up in Cincy, but we're almost always in my Wife's car and not my FK8

I've only seen one other FL5 in metro Phoenix. I got the impression (from salesmen comments) dealers were selling mostly to out of state buyers. I see plenty of exotic car traffic, just not FL5's.

Still no FL5s around me. I've been fooled for a few seconds by some BBP Civic Hatchbacks. From a distance, it's hard to tell.
The FK8s have come out of winter storage, though. In my little 4,000 population town I've seen 2 BBP, 1 black and 1 dark grey in the last two weeks.

I daily mine. Around here I’ve seen a couple FK8’s and one other FL5 on the roads. Last year I was at an autox that had 3 FL5’s other than mine.
I am in the charleston,WV area..I finally saw another one, championship white, with hood removed..First I have seen in WV.

My neighbor has an FK8, my SGP and across the street, a CW FL5.
My boy has a CW as well.

I believe for a fact in South Florida these are not uncommon.

'24 CTR - red
Ive seen one blue and one red here in Cincinnati - I have a red '24 as well. I have seen a few fk8s but not that many. When I had my white fk8 I rarely if ever saw them around here too.

I have a CW in that area. There's another CW in my area there, and I've seen a grey one as well a couple of times near Colerain area.

It's kinda surprising how uncommon they are, since South Florida has the highest concentration of them in the country. I think its mostly due to them not being daily-driven. I see FK8s almost every day but FL5s/DE5s are harder to find

I know of a BBP and an SGP local and driveway parked. Also a CW FK8. My daughters soccer coach drives an ITS. I don't notice those as much and they can be hard to tell apart from TLX Type S from a distance. I have seen other than the known local FL5s and going to dealerships another RR and a CW. I have seen more FK8s, but I guess there are more of them in general.

As little as I see Type Rs I have seen my first Nissan Z since it was released and one GRC. I have ever only seen 2 ENs one black and one that gross blue.

I stand corrected; I have another neighbor within a 5 minute walk from me that has a DE5.
So in my small area count 3 CTRs ( 1 Fk8, 2 FL5s), and a Type S.
South Florida is certainly a hotbed for great performance cars.
