I have, but with the price increase on the GT already, I'm thinking they planned ahead and boosted MSRP enough to soften the 5.0 blow. Still could charge 1K overall for the motor. I think the Ecotec might cost buyers more though; the LS3's replacement may be just as big a thing for Camaro purchasers in the coming years when LS Gen III motors are phased out.

And yes, I'm waiting for the 5.0L. Might as well since I won't be ordering before December anyhow and that was the original plan.
