'Z' Always Stood for Zora
The 'Z' in Z06 and ZR1 always implied Zora..... maybe they're just spelling it out for the slow folks

I had a dog named Arkus in honor of Zora Arkus-duntov. If you are a vette fan or a chevy fan that is a name you should at least have heard before but unfortunately his name doesn't seem to get the recognition it deserves.

Fairly sure Z doesn't stand for anything. Just an RPO code.
