I'm sure the "/" means something, but IMO I think analyzing the slash is an academic point as well. The slash means that chevy is associating this model, by name and its performance characteristics, closely to the first generation (obvious).
In my opinion, the / designates that the car is built for the purpose of racing while being street legal. Sure, comparing the 1st gen Z/28 to the 4th gen Z28 isn't apples to apples and the 4th gen probably is faster in every way but, if you took a 4th gen and built it in a way to optimize its track performance, like a 1st gen, it would probably be significantly faster than a standard Z28 would be.

That is the point I am trying to make.
