In short The Z came from the name of the "Design Project Z" that was formed in 1965 to design a sports car styled passenger car. The letter "Z" was used for a file name because most all of the other characters in the roman alphabet had been previously used. You can read more about this story from the web site of the Internet Z Car Club.
