Ask me how I know..... (I used to have an '07 Cobalt SS)
But yeah, I am mostly adding it for looks/aesthetic purposes.
My 1989 Mercury Cougar XR-7 had a factory boost gauge right in the center of the dash. Thus I have to conclude all the Ford Super Coupes did as well.

Not as good a picture but this one is from a USA car with a MPH speedometer:
