Is it Z zero 6 or Z letter O 6?
And does this mean anything?
Cuz I want to one of these!

That would be an O as the number, not alphabet.

Also, Z06 is an RPO (Regular Production Option), code. Get yourself a Corvette Black Book (www.motorbooks.com). It is loaded with great information and all the option codes.

Shouldn't this be posted in the "Book Worm section?” Just kidding Shylor. Have a nice Xmas.

Good original question, proper answer, how about some nit-picking ?

When I look at my original window sticker:
The first line in the upper left corner is "2004 CORVETTE Z06".
The type font shows clearly the difference between the letter "O" and the number "zero".
The "O" in Corvette is not the same as the "0" in 2004.
The "0" in Z06 is the same as the zeros in "2004".

Therefore, I conclude (actually I already knew), it is Z "zero" 6.
But, it is, as always, pronounced "Zee oh six". In the U.S.
This follows the GM convention for defining "options", sometimes upgraded to "model", like Z28, Z71, etc.
The ways of the General and the car community are deep and mysterious.

And, please, no crap from the Canadians about "Zed oh six". I know, I know. I have a '71 Zed28.
I pulled a "real" Trans-Am Camaro to St. Jovite, Quebec track in 1968 on a open trailer,
and all I heard was poor kids on the side of the road yelling "Zed 28, Zed 28".
It was only the 2nd year for Camaro and the Z28. They LOVE road-racing in Canada.

Excuse me, I have to go pick more nits and fight some ignorant folks about "Porche-ah" or Porche"

Retired GM Engr,

You are correct the "Oh" is actually ZERO. But we seem to pronounce it as "Oh". It just doesn't sound right saying, "Z Zero Six".

Thud

Zee Aught Six!

Don't forget the 30 aught 6

Uh... while your picking more nits, you might want to go pick some with guys that spell Porsche or Porsche-ah wrong.
Sorry, couldn't resist.

For DrValidus, as you can probably tell, its a zero that we all pronounce as an "oh". Hope you are able to get one. They are great cars.

You're cracking me up! Or is your?
