Apparently the people at Winding Road Magazine thought it would be funny to create their own Blue Devil and parade it around Detroit as the real thing. Here is the story from the new issue.
We built our own Corvette Blue Devil, drove it through the streets of Detroit, and saw dreams come alive. Grown men pointed and smiled. "The Blue Devil" they said. "Take a picture!" they said. For a couple thousand people who saw our cosmetically realistic creation, the Blue Devil existed. It was real.
Of course, it wasn't real. With less than $400 in supplies and fifty-eight man-hours, we created our own Blue Devil. Corvette experts, spy photographers, GM employees and Motor Trend and AutoWeek editors were fooled. Hook, line, and sinker.
More significant than seeing our car published in another magazine was the reaction we received from the public at large. People want to believe in it. People want to buy it. Listen to them, Chevrolet. Build the Blue Devil.
Game over. Thanks for playing.
I honestly didn't think it was the real thing, I just didn't realize it went this far.
I'd include the .pdf file for those that want to read it, but the file is 17.4mb. If you want to be a subscriber, here's the link. It's a free magazine, you just have to register. It comes out every 2-3 months. Good magazine.

:lmao: This guy Conti, a salesperson and I think a supprting member or something, did a spoof a few months back. When he announced it was a hoax, some prople got a little pissed and some (like me) thought it was funny.
