I seem to recall rumours they did do, running the engine in a converted car based on the NSX GT500 to use as a running test bed. I recall rumours a few years ago Ferrari had engaged in a similar practice, lapping Fiorano in a specially adapted GT car. Of course as I say this may be rumour more than fact.
Mind you today's technology and dynos may be able to replicate the loads of track use without leaving the test bed.
