If your dealer had an allocation when you ordered figure 6 to 8 weeks. If not could be a very long time.

Actual time on the line is approximately 18 hours.

Here's a link to a post in a thread by someone who knew these things.

Do you have a work order number?
If not, ask your dealer for it.
Once you have your work order #,
you can track your car and know
when it is being built.

Er, ah, not exactly. SOMEONE can track your build for you, but not you, unless you're a dealer or have access to the GM system.
Your dealer can track it if he will.
