Plenty of un-neutered Caymans in the aftermarket.
See this all the time in the car community. People want to brag about lap times for some car they just bought, but they never actually take their car to the track, much less compete in time trials or w2w. I think it was James May who pointed out how pointless Nurburgring lap times are for 99 percent of buyers. How a car feels or functions in your actual usage is more important, although there are no bragging rights for that.
