Default C6 Performance

Hey Every one.
So what do you all think about the performance of the next C5.5?
This is what I hold to happen:
Given that the car will have less weight than the current Z06 model-more power -- and a higher happier RPM range - It should make it to 60 MPH in about 4 maybe 4.1 Seconds. In the Quarter mile I think it should pull around 117/119 (if it will do 120 my hat will be off to GM - but I doubt it will happen). On the other hand, I do believe that the next vette should be really fast since there is plenty of competition arriving from Europe (such as the E55 and the next heavily anticipated M from BMW).
Anybody else think that this might be what we are about to experience?
Bottom line as I see it: Looks wise - the car will not be that different ( yet its early to know), while performance wise - GM has always kept me happy whenever they introduced a new model. Anybody else with their 2 cents?

I don't understand why you're assuming that it will be very similar to the C5. I personally believe that GM has done a great job of keeping the real facts and pictures from us. I am a bit optimistic in believing that the next vette will be something amazing. If i had to make a guess, I'd agree with 4.1 and about 119, 120. Maybe a 7-speed gearbox ? I wish, although I know it won't happen, they'd make the vettes all wheel drive. These are the kinds of things that would make me drool over the car. Who knows, it may happen.
