Just a prelimanary order as they will still drag you back in when you get to 3000 status lam getting very close to #20 and still have not signed and documents for my 2021 ride. Glad l waited as the 21s have alot more cool options over the 20s.

Too bad GM won't let me flip to a 2021, going to be hard to live without all those stripe packages
Yes. Allocations are not out. I am 1st though at a top dealer. Expected May arrival barring more Covid production delays
There is the possibility of the $100K luxury tax which could be 10% extra , so I had to make a change to the interior to 2LT to get it down to $98 K.
2021 C8 Convertible, Mist Red Metallic, LT2 in two-tone Adrenaline Red. Carbon in the interior as well as external carbon options below the door ( rocker) and on the mirror, black carbon roof with the black nacelles. Dual Exhaust (but no Z51 package) , black spokes with Edge red calipers, no spoiler, and definitely no stripes. Should look nice.

What dealer did you go through? I'm going through Wilson-Niblett. Placed the deposit in September 2020 - he tells me I won't see the car until Nov/Dec 2021. All I've done is the deposit.... what is the talk about 3000, 4000 etc?
Quite likely. Sounds like you are well down their list. Did you ask for your position on their list? IF the parts chain holds up they will build about 40,000 cars in the 2021 calendar year. You need to know 2 things from them.
1. your position on their list and
2 the number of allocations they will receive this year.
The allocation assignments haven't been given to the dealers yet. It might happen the second thursday of November (12th)

The numbers you've referenced are the GM "event codes" that describe how far along a new vehicle is in the production process. This applies to all GM vehicles. Your first priority is to get to "event 3000" where the order for a Corvette has been accepted for production at the Bowling Green plant in Kentucky. After that, as your vehicle marches closer to actually being produced and delivered, a different "event code" is assigned to it. Your dealer can tell you where you're at or some people call the GM customer assistance centre (1-800-263-3777) for updates and for that, you'll need your 6 letter Order Number so they can look up your vehicle order. Welcome to the waiting game. See below for the codes and you'll find some better descriptions of them on the Web:

Actually 2000 is where you want to be.
1100 means your order was entered into the "Workbench software" and means you have a definite place in line with your dealer.
Once allocations are assigned the dealer matches those allocations with an order in the system (AKA Workbench software).
At that point you are at 2000 and GM has accepted that order to be produced. They WILL produce that order at some point.
The rest is just the way things happen to go until you reach 3400 which means you have a date for the car to be produced.
This is not on this site, but on the midenginecorvette forum but it's a good read nonetheless.
