I doubt he is talking about drag racing, a sport not taken seriously
outside the US (I know, Santa Pod and all that....riiiiight), and one
for which post-1962 Corvettes with their IRS are poorly suited.

Yeah, in a line that cost Ken Miles the world championship because
Ford brass made them, in their British Lola built GT40s with Italian
transaxles, British brakes and German suspension. The next year
Ferrari was there, where was Ford?
Henry Ford II with ten times the money bought that race. For Ferrari
racing was everything: for Ford it was a whim to impress his Italian
wife.
Ford was never a serious player in any form of road racing with any
US-derived product. They paid Cosworth to build the DFV, and the
inline fours in US Ford products are derivatives of Brit and German
engines to this day.
Enzo Ferrari was the greatest racing car constructor in the world. I
don't know if he ever even set foot in the U.S.
