My initial idea; don't drive 100 MPH on the street, problem solved!
Now, after rereading your post, it seems you are disapointed that you don't feel that pulsation at lower speeds and not that it does it at higher ones, so to 'fix' that just start braking earlier and more lightly than you are used to doing. That will get help promote the warping of your rotors (notoriously easy on these cars) and that should get you were you want to be at lower speeds.
If your post was trying to say that you are upset that they do it at high speed, then hit the brakes harder when you brake, that may even start to even out the rotors. Or you can simply keep driving 100 MPH on the street until you lose your license, then you don't have to worry about it at all.

The rotors do seem to warp VERY easily on these cars, I was on the highway a few days ago doing about 70 mph and there was traffic up ahead so I started slowing down. I didn't slam on the brakes, but I had to get on them somewhat hard to avoid the cars up ahead, and now the rotors are warped again. It's a little ridiculous, I just had the rotors cut at my last oil change ( 1500 miles ago)

I have also thought about upgrading to the GXP rotors and pads, does anyone know if they will work on the Monte/Impala?

Don't worry about my license and don't assume i'm on the street. If anything was to prevent me from doing 100mph i would hope its crashing into you.

They would be rather miffed if you plowed into them or their loved ones though. My hope is that you never have to find out what it is like to hurt someone because you are driving like an idiot. Not quite as cute and edgy as your hope, but there it is.
