Nothing says I can't get laid more than a Porsche, so no.
Besides it's a reworked boxster, a Porsche lite. Besides it's 15K more than a vette which which is better in most areas on the track and within 10k of the Z06 which would kill it at the track.

What kind of question is that unless it's rooted in reality? Of course I'd trade my FD in for another that's double its value. If I was so FD gungho, I'd just turn around and sell the Cayman, and then get another FD. Or two. Or more mods. Or 20B. Or, you get the picture. 
*edit - n/m, I understand what you mean. For most people, there will always be another car they want more. There was a time that I thought I'd never sell the FD, but frankly, if I could afford a C6 Z06, AMG SL, or a number of other cars, the FD would be gone in a heart beat. Priorities change.

Thats what im saying, the question is too vague, there has to be more limits.

Assuming you don't mean an even trade...for a Porsche, no.
I'm firmly rooted in a financial reality and have kids to get through college.
Still, though I love this car, it depends on how things shake out over the next year or two. I could see the possiblity of a trade-in on a late model C5 ZO6.

I will admit that it's the most exciting sports car I've seen in a few years.

Come on guys, you will one day realize that speed is not everything. Porsches just have a certain character, a certain spirit, an aura perhaps that even the Rx-7 does not have. Plus the doors don't rattle, the suspension doesn't clunk, and door handles don't break off all the time ;-).
I would even up trade my FD for a Porsche Boxster, even.

Buying a car is not a one dimensional comparison. Glad I'm not the only one that realizes that.

of course i would.
my FD may be faster in a straight line, but that's probably the only thing that it's got going for it - well and the appearance... but the cayman is still a great looking car.

+1 for this comment.
I'm with him.
I'd rather own a fkin' awesome FD that spanks all these expensive newer cars, while still retaining the gorgeous look of an FD, and the power to back it up.
But like someone else said...I WOULD trade it for the Cayman...only to buy another FD and go 3-rotor.
Har har har.
Sh*t, if/after I sell my FD, I'm gonna get another Turbo II and rock the world once again with that oh-so-great late 80's body-styling and turbo-charged rotary goodness.
Yeah.
