Default Zo6 or Z06?

I've alway been of mind that this is an o like in oh vs 0 like in zero. I bring this up as I was looking through Craig list with no Zo6 adds in the Sacramento area, but when searching Z06 - several listings. I then did a Google search each way and saw several of the same links listed both ways.

I myself refer to my car as a Zo6 not a Z zero 6. thoughts? data/proof?

Z06 (z 'zero' 6) is the accurate way. Use below link for your proof by how Chevrolet's website shows it.

still equally confussed. the c6 appears to be a zero, but if you listen to the video they say "oh 6" like 11 times - never zero 6. Also, doesn't the C5 Zo6 have the oh vs 0. Not sold yet.

It is sort of like saying a phone number. For example: 555-1206

Some people will say it as "five five five one two zero six", but others will say it as "five five five one two oh six".

In the case of Z06, the 0 is a zero. It can be said different ways though.

Z-zero-6 doesn't quite roll off your tongue like Z-oh-6 does. Only reason it's said that way.

If it's really Zzero6.... then why do they use a lower cased "oh"?

Zo6... Z oh 6

Who is "they"? Take a look at Chevrolet's website or any official literature on the car. It is always Z06. If you look closely enough, you can even see that the "0" (zero) is skinnier than the wider capital "O" (oh) in most fonts. It is never written with a lower case "o" (oh).

Fun topic!
