I don't think the automotive use of "neutral" handling is the same as with bicycles. And 66mm seems to be fairly high rather than neutral.
My go-to reference is
Trail and Its Effects at Spectrum Cycles. Quoting:
The term "neutral" is used in a normal way to describe handling. Neutral is commonly used to describe behavior without bias. In this use, the bike has no bias towards the front tire, in the way PO stated. I'm not using it to describe the amount of trail.
