So, i'd say that with equal driver skill an s2000 would be faster on the track than a Mustang GT/Camaro SS. However....those z06's are another story. 
I remember R&T testing several cars and the s2000 was ahead of the Boxster S and others. Could be wrong, i'll dig up the R&T and check.
Yeah. R&T did a test of several cars (with Le Mans & IMSA master Steve Millen doing the driving) at Thunderhill including the Camaro SS, Boxster S, Z06, NSX, S2000, and several more expensive european sports cars.
But the S2000 was ever so slightly behind the Boxster S..... and get this one.... over a full second behind a
no option 2001 Camaro SS. So I'd say your theory about the Camaro is more than a little off (unless the track is REALLY twisty and has no straights to speak of).
But you are definitely correct about it beating a GT.
