If you dealer gets 8 allocations for May and June, your order would likely get accepted by GM in June. My calculations (which are mine, not GM's) say GM will be building April allocations into August, so June allocations could push into September or later.
If your dealer doesn't get at least 8 allocations for May and June, your order will go nowhere for the 2021 model year. Your dealer will have to reenter your order as a 2022. GM has told dealers they can start entering 2022 orders sometime in July. Hopefully your dealer would keep your place in line.
Either way, I don't think you'll see a car until Fall at the earliest.

So IF GM gives your dealer the "normal" number of allocations in May and June, you can figure you'll be in the June batch of allocations. But that's a big if. Many think there will be no, or very few, allocations for May and none for June.

The conseirge for chevy told me that even after the build it could take up to 8 weeks for quality control....to let the car go and then shipping too complicated.............man this is just getting worse..

I suggest you read the following threads:
Ordering a Corvette - Allocations and Constraints Explained
C8 Corvette Orders - Event Codes and What They Mean
These can both be found in the C8 Order Info-Allocations/Constraints, Prices, Order Guide, Order Tracking/codes, etc sticky thread.
