Default Mystery bolt: quiz

I found a 12mm high tensile steel bolt lying loose under my drivers seat (RHD)whilst having a clean up of my 2000 model Boxster S.
Its 122mm long, has a 55 Torx head and a rubber sleeve covering some of the threads.
This is a serious piece of kit and should be holding something together! Any ideas where it fits? Ive only had the car three months and apart for some timing chain rattle on start up it runs fine with 138 000km on the clock.

Sounds like a cool bolt, but this is posted in the 968 section, not the 986 section. Very different cars.

Hey that is one of the missing bolts from the Bay Bridge standing pier. Supposed to be grade 8 I understand only grade 5. lol.
