I have seen those 2 red stripes on many vettes but have no clue what they stand for... anyone care to explain.

Your dad has one sweet ride... i think i may be selling my Z next year for a previous generation GTS.

Stripes are there to commemorate the Grand Sports race cars that Chevy killed in the mid-60's. '96 C4 had a "Grand Sports" edition that showed these stripes. The 60's Grand Sports were the original Z06's. So now we have a vette named after a particularly hot 60's model which Chevy killed because of the then racing ban agreed on by most (all?) U.S. car manufacturers. I may not be all correct but thats basically what the stripes are for. Anyway, thats my story and I'm sticking with it until someone corrects me

I have to agree---nothing against your Dad--but I was waiting for a clown to get out of the Wiper....must say though those Vipers really move, had the chance to drive one this summer.

I'd take your Vette anytime!
