While saying "I have a Mustang with the 3.5L EcoBoost engine" doesn't sound bad, saying "I have a twin-turboed Mustang" makes you sound like a dork; as far as general consensus goes.

I'm not saying it hasn't been done; I'm merely speculating that Ford is trying to cater to the "purists" by keeping the turbos out of the Mustang.
You may have a point -- although they're simply wrong. In muscle cars, more power = better, because the trophy for second place is downstairs, in the ladies' room.
