L76 camaro ?

I was looking at the new pontiac G8 and noticed that it dose not come with the ls2 or ls3 but with the l76 DOD 6.0 motor rated at 362 hp. I would seem a likly possibility that since GM has only announced 1 v8 I beleave for the initial model camaro; that this may be what we are to be looking at? It would still out perform both the mustang and the challenger base V8 models and would leave the ls3 for a more expensive Z28 model while allowing consumers to get camaro v8 power in the 29,900 G8 price range perhaps instead of 34-35k of a Z28 package.

It may only have 362hp stock but the use of the l76 intake means square port heads and easy L92 head swaps for big power. And the DOD will allow for much improved fuel economy wich could boost sales.

I have no real proof or anything, just sharing thoughts.
