The stock brake pads are fine on the Camaro SS. You need to change the brake fluid to a DOT4 higher temp fluid (Motul 600 | Castro SRF). There is also a need to change engine oil to a Dexos II 0W/40W Mobil 1 or 5W/40W Motul 8100 XClean Dexos II (there are others, not starting an oil war thread).
Changing the type of pad to a more race oriented pad can lead to much quicker rotor wear.
FWIW, I tracked my SS a good amount. I upgraded brake pads and rotors all the way around. This was after I had went through a couple sets of pads and really needed a rotor change.
