What year was the Cayman..? They get faster with each iteration..
On the street the FRS will give you as much , if not more entertainment..
And for the price... It's an outstanding value.
On the track, at speed and nearing the limits.. The P car would be the one to have..

Yeah, Porsche's flat-sixes are the greatest things. They're pretty torque-y and they sound so good. Each motor sounds different, but they all sound great. I want a Porsche so badly, but I think I want something older. I really want something pre-1975 so I can do whatever I want to the car without having to smog it, but sadly I think I'll probably be priced out of that market forever now... every year prices increase massively. You can't even buy a rusted-out rolling chassis for an old car for under $10k now... it's ridiculous. Hopefully that bubble will burst at some point :\

Wow that Cayman driver needs a manual transmission, for starters...

Out of curiosity, from someone who hasn't done any track days (but would like to in the near future), what are the most obvious/common errors you see in that video?

One thing I didn't really mention much and want to is that (never owning anything with more than 4 cylinders before) the Porsche's M97 flat six engine is incredibly smooth, like silk. Really a night and day difference. Gotta love a naturally balanced engine. Oh, and while it's 3.4 liters and has a redline of 7200 make no mistake, this engine loves to rev. There's even an almost "VTEC" like changeover above 6000 when the Vario-Cam adjusts the timing. The exhaust note changes and you feel a little extra boost. It's also quite torquey for what it is, with it's peak torque (252) sustained over a 3000 rpm band.

More than anything, he's scared (which isn't a bad thing). Also seems like he just doesn't know the potential of his car, so he accepts what he believes to be the limit as the limit, and does not try to go beyond his self-imposed limits.

If you don't plan on boosting the s2000 (no experience with them there, but the supercharged s2000 seem to be very peaky), I'd say just get the Cayman S. You obviously want more power, like N/A engines, etc. Get the car you really want.
