I get the point he was making and you can see how going back to the fox body days GM has produced a better car, but my counter to that engine part is how widely used the Chevy small block V8 has been used over the last half century in racing.
When other OEMs stuff a Chevy motor into their race cars (Tanner Foust's Passat for example), you're doing something better than some others.
