Since I live at least 2 hours from the nearest track, they recommended I simply drop in the race pads, turn off stabilitrac/traction control and drive to the track. They felt the distance to the track would effectively clean the rotors and no sanding would be necessary. I try to go through a bedding procedure before I arrive at the track, otherwise I take it easy on the first two laps to get the brakes bedded. I know others will recommend more comprehensive approaches, but this simply works for me. However my car isn't nearly as fast as your car.
If I were you with such a fast car, I would give the guys at Livermore Performance a call and see what they recommend. Their super nice guys with 30+ years of road racing experience and can point you in the right direction.

I met a guy that races Camaros and he recommended the Raybestos ST43's as well. One reason to sand the rotors is that your street and track pads may not have compatible compounds.
Good to know about Livermore Perf, I'll keep them in mind. Have they worked on many Camaros?
I run in Competition Mode on the track, do you defeat it completely?
