And those are probably factory ratings as well, right? My cousin has an 06 Mustang GT with a manual trans and he gets around 26 or so on the highway back and forth to work (hand calculated for accuracy), so thats even better. That's not bad at all for that kind of power. If you drive it with sense it'll reward you in kind
I've owned and my family owns lots of V8s. Whether it be my old Mark VII with the 5.0 HO or the Dodge Ram I just got rid of, V8s are a little more sensitive to driving habits in my experience.
