A Cayman might be faster, but at increased cost, anything american won't be great on the track without a ton of work, and generally double the brakes because of the extra weight...

Same here. I'd also throw MR2 in the mix, really any generation. Anything else the consumable cost would beat you to death. A Lotus is the only "exotic" I would consider being toy powered and having reasonably priced tires and brakes. Honestly about the same price as an S2K.
The proper trim Camaro and Mustangs do pretty well. Given the same driver you would be faster in either car over a twin. Just not necessarily more fun.
