Another naming oddity involves the Chevrolet Camaro.

Car makers, GM in particular, use alpha numeric codes to describe options and groups of options (packages) available to order cars. GM codes are usually A-##, one alpha, two numbers. Marketing and engineering had come up with a package for the high performance/sport/high end Camaro but were having a hard time coming up with a name to call the package/model for marketing.

The randomly assigned package code?

You guessed it.

Z-28.
