I know this may sound weird, possibly stupid, but I have a small question about the ?o? in ZO6. Is it Z 'o' 6, or is it Z 'zero' 6?

It is a zero but it's pronounced "Oh".

4523,

No stupid questions here, only stupid answers including the one that follows. The car is designated IYY37, the first five digits of the VIN number, It is RPO (Regular Production Option) Z06. That is Zee Zero Six.
However, those of us on the inside and in the know, now including you, all say Zee Oh Six just to confuse the outsiders. So, the first time someone comes up to you and says Zee Zero Six, depart immediately by the nearest exit! Do not pass goal, do not collect $200. jerboa [img]http]//www.corvetteforum.cc/ubb/biggrin.gif[/img]
