So it's the letter then. That's what I figured from the start, but even on Chevy's website, it uses a Zero and not a letter.

I'm pretty sure I remember just recently reading that the O represents the number zero but I don't remember where I read it.

It is actually RPO Z06 (with a zero), but everyone says Z-oh-6.

It is resurected from the 1963 RPO Z06, which was a special equipment package for racing. They produced 199 of them, according to the Corvette Black Book.
