You can go the M2/Supra route, they're considerably heavier and less agile though. Most competitors at the same price point as a 911 are GT cars, not sports cars (Maserati/Aston/Jaguar). Next step up is insanely expensive as you're into exotics.

TBH i actually think Lotus is probably now the closest competitor in spirit anyways.

I will say though, if i did not need the back seats i would have bought a 4C and if the GT350 was a convertible i would have went that route. The 911 was really the only sports car to offer me back seats for the kids and a drop top and enough room for a picnic basket.
I love the Alfa 4C but just couldn’t get past the lack of power steering and the seemingly odd pedal placement/feel/throttle mapping. It’s definitely not a daily driver like a Cayman or 911 is.
