They will feel better and handle more heat than the lower-level SS units as they are stiffer and have more pad surface area.
Having said that, there is no guarantee of better panic stopping distances. That is controlled by the tires and ABS. To stop quicker, get stickier tires and make slight change to the mechanical brake bias.
Has anyone done the math on the CTS-V system to make sure it is has the correct balance for the V-8 Camaro? If it moves it more toward the front axle, that would be going the wrong way.

Probably won't make much difference during the first stop, but the next 20 or 30 brake stabs will likely be much more confidence inspiring considering how this car is driven (and by whom.)
