People should buy what they enjoy driving and what is going to make them happy.

How come I see NSXs all the time and rarely see Carreras?

I'm not talking about the ones on base. I see different ones driving around town all the time too. I hardly ever see Carreras though. But who cares... that is just what I see.

The numbers don't lie though. There are WAY more 911s out there.

Obviously there are more 911's out there, they are the superior car for the money. Even the highpriced ones.
And vice versa, there are less NSXs out there because they are overpriced for the money. Nobody bought them, they were literally being pushed out of the lots. You said it yourself...
NSXs sold for WAY below MSRP

Honda was never in a hurry to "push" any NSX off the lot. They never meant to profit from the NSX. There was never a stockpile of NSXs that couldn't be sold.
The low production was never due to low sales.
