Lol, yeah, I've never seen that. I'd get a larger rear like a 295 on there as well...

I see it all the time on the street on many different types of cars and it bothers me that I don't know what it signifies. If its just stripes, and means nothing, thats cool, I just figured I'd ask to try and ask to rest my thoughts.

They're Grand Sport stripes, found on the '96 Corvette Grand Sport. Lots of people like them and put them on Fbodies all the time.
