How much do you think I could get for my GTA?

I don't know, I'm thinking of sell my GTA and forwarding that cash towards the purchase of a C4 corvette. I know I'm going to hear that I shouldn't sell it, and i'd like to keep it, but what gets me is that all the stuff that I'd have to upgrade on my GTA to make it a nice all around car has been done to a T on a corvette from the factory. The car has a clean title, but sometime in its history its had a collision on the rear left quarter, and the damage was repaired but not that great, you can still see the body filler if you look closely. I just got it smogged, it has a ton of new parts, a cd changer (i retained the stock deck), a new front bumper cover, 17X8.5 polished vortec Z's with new 255/40/17 rubber (i still have the original gta wheels), hooker headers and y-pipe, an adjustable msd timing control, msd coil and wires, 3" dynomax cat-back with a high flow cat, I converted the a/c over to r134a, in addition to a bunch of stock parts that have been replaced (brakes, tie rods, ecm, injectors, etc etc etc). Its an original california car, 114000 miles, 2 owners. Its flame red metallic with original options consisting of the digital dash, tan leather interior, automatic tranny, power everything, ws6 suspenion, 9-bolt posi rearend with disc brakes and 3.27 gears, power antenna, and the radio with the steering wheel radio controls. The paint and the rest of the body are nice and straight, with the exception of the usual stress cracks in the spoiler. The original L98 engine runs great and the tranny shifts fine and hasn't given me any problems. This car was taken care of nicely by the original owner. The real problems with it is an annoying exhaust leak, the leather on the passenger front seat is starting to crack, and the turn signal switch has some play (the cam needs to be replaced). The rest of the power accessories work fine. I've had this car for almost 2 years, hardly driven it, and put a lot of time into it, but I'm really beginning to look beyond this car towards better things........
