I have never had that on the GTV6 brakes; they are pretty good (they were 
good enough until I drove a 156 recently, but still fine considering their 
vintage).  Maybe your rotors are somewhat warped or scored or there is a 
little leak or bubble in your fluid line?  Anyhow, they are not supposed to 
vibrate, just stop (whether or not you consider that essential, see previous 
discussion of quip attributed to Bugatti and/or Ferrari).
