Well, there you go, bleeder screw has to be at the high point, air bubbles go up to the highest point, if the bleeder is on the bottom then it is not getting the air out.
So, I would say you have them on the wrong sides, need to swap them over.
******** Yeah, just looked at a pic of the calipers******
The bleeder screws should be at the TOP, so you have them on the wrong sides for sure if they are at the bottom on the car.

This reminds me of that movie "Sling Blade" with Billy Bob Thornton, where they are all in the mower shop standing around a lawn mower that won't start, all making suggestions as to what may be wrong. Then the sling blade guy says "Has it got any gas in it?" They take the gas cap off and of course it is dry.
It is often something simple and basic that keeps something from working right.

Dumb suggestion, have you maybe got the calipers on the wrong sides, make the bleeder port below the fluid level in the calipers?
I have yet to do a Corvette, whether it is even possible, but I had a Mustang that a guy had swapped calipers on and couldn't get it to bleed and he had installed the calipers on the wrong sides.
