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.

The Emira is pretty sweet but I think the price has gone crazy there too?
Ya, I lusted after the 4C but missed the boat and it's not practical at all as I'm sure you're aware. Why not a Boxster then if you were in that alternate universe?
