I am still trying to for sure confirm this, but I was told that the rotors from the 2008-2009 Cadillac 3.6 Litre, 6 Cylinder, VVT (Rear Wheel Drive) will fit the v6 model Camaros. There are a bunch of aftermarket slotted / cross-drilled rotors for the Cadillac application that are quite reasonably priced.
I also disagree with the notion that this is a waste performance wise. The performance cross drilled / slotted rotors should help nicely with brake fade for those of us that autocross and road race.

Yes and no. Slotted/drilled do help with removing the gas that builds up between the pad and rotors, and the it's the veins in the rotor that actually cool it. BUT the thing is though that some of these cheap rotors out there are cast with "cheap" metal and actually are worse then the stockers with dissipating heat etc. DO NOT be fooled that just because they are slotted/drilled or have a million pistons in the caliper your car will brake better.
More pistons do even out the pressure on the pad, but larger pistons can actually apply more pressure to the pad for stopping power. Just because a car has 6 pistons doesn't necessarily mean it will brake better then a car with 4 pistons. Everything plays in, rotor size and thickness, number of veins, slots/holes, pads, lines, fluid, caliper size, number of pistons and sizes etc etc

if you look closely, it is a 6 piston caliper....

WRONG you are... how about the 1/3 of the caliper you don't see?

No it's not, they are 4 piston calipers.
