Anyone know anything about this, or has the seller over used the NSX reference and it just shares a power unit ??

Almost since its inception, Acura has been involved in American motorsports, specifically in Sports Car Club of America (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sports_Car_Club_of_America) (SCCA) and IMSA GT Championship (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IMSA_GT_Championship) series. Starting in 1991, Acura reached an agreement with the Comptech Racing to use the V6 motor of the all-new Acura NSX (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_NSX) in Comptech's Camel Lights Spice (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spice_Engineering) prototype. Acura would go on to take the Lights championship in its initial year, including a class win at the 24 Hours of Daytona (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/24_Hours_of_Daytona). Acura and Comptech would take the Lights championships again in 1992 and 1993, as well as another Daytona class win in 1992 and a class win at the 12 Hours of Sebring (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/12_Hours_of_Sebring) for 1993.
However a change in the IMSA rules would lead to the demise of the Camel Lights, and so Acura moved to touring car racing (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Touring_car_racing), joining Realtime Racing in the SCCA World Challenge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_World_Challenge) with the NSX in 1996, winning the final two races of the season. In 1997, Acura added Acura Integras (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honda_Integra) to the lower classes, and were successful in taking the championship in both of these classes. Realtime took the touring championship with the Integra again in 1998, and came within a few points of winning it again in 1999 only to lose it in the final race, then coming back to retake the title in 2000.

Although Realtime had abandoned the NSX program in 1998, the NSXs returned to the top class in 2001. Although the NSX squad suffered mechanical woes and were unable to take the title, the Integras of the touring class once again took the teams championship. By 2002, Acura replaced the aged Integra with the new Acura RSX (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acura_RSX) in the final races of the season, scoring good finishes in their debut. At the same time, Acura finally retired the NSXs from the top GT class. The RSXs would later be joined by new Acura TSXs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acura_TSX) in 2004. Realtime continues to campaign the RSX and TSX in the SCCA Speed World Challenge (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_World_Challenge). Acura also currently races RSXs and TSXs in the Grand American Road Racing Association (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_American_Road_Racing_Association)'s KONI Challenge Series (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KONI_Challenge_Series) for touring cars.
