Meaning of Z
As posted before, the Z does stand for Zora Arkus Duntov, a Chevy engineer and racer who saved the original Corvette from getting the ax by installing the 265 small block in '55 and developing the small block AND the Corvette through the '60s. Have you ever heard of Duntov cams? That's him too. Father of the Corvette. So Chevy honored him in 1967. And the rest, as they say, is history!
