There is really no hard and fast rule on racing stripes, just what looks good. Stripes were first put on the cars to give the drivers a visual center point of the car while racing, and became more of a styling cue like war paint later on. The stripe you are talking about is like the one that comes on the super snake but I don't know of that stripe ever being offered by the factory. When I was laying out the stripes on my old Berkley GT I tried a few different styles I just did them in paper and masking tape on the hood until I got the look I wanted then I just copied down the measurements and had them cut the vinyl.
