another quick thought...it could also be that gm has decided for the camaro not to really compete with the gt500 leaving that to the base corvette, which costs the same. this could be suppported by the thinking that while there is some aspect of family utility to the camaro, its not as likely that that audience is going to be targeted as much with the gt500, so the corvette could fit that bill (older croud more money). also even though the engine in the gt500 is stronger, it does give up 700+ lbs to the corvette in weight, so they do run about the same. Then you can take this and explain the 2 v6's being a base and an rs trim in the camaro, and the v8 being and ls2/3, and all is right with the world again from what ive read and seen posted.
(camaro=cheaper=lower grade fuel=probably the L76 out of the g8)
