I'd summarize this question with the following algo flows:
You want more power, retain the NA, high revving feel, and don't mind the brand?

Ford GT350

You can do with less power, retain the NA, sacrifice a few revs, but gain in handling and rawness?

Porsche Cayman 987.2S or 981S - pitch in more for GT4.

You want similar power, less revs, retain NA, and a higher perceived brand?

Porsche 997.2 or 991.1

Anything else goes into Turbo world, and I feel like that's our solid no here.

Honorary mentions to C63, RS4/5 and the other American muscle cars.
I'm not a ford guy but having driven a GT350, this is a very good alternative. The car is very raw and thrilling to drive! However given the price delta it might not be considered similar cost.
