Z is for Zulu or time measured at Greenwich England also known as GMT. For central time zone the difference is 5 hours behind the z time.
I tried explaining it this way yesterday and someone accurately pointed out that the actual local time in Greenwich, England is 6 hours ahead of CDT, but that is because Greenwich now uses a different timezone. Up until 1972 it used GMT (or UTC or Z).

Is it because GMT uses daylight savings but Zulu time is Zulu time?
