Convertible headroom compared to coupe?

So I know that the windshield on the GT convertible is raked back a little bit compared to the coupe, so how does that affect headroom? I'm almost 6'2" and I have plenty of headroom in my '06 GT coupe. Would I be fine in the GT convertible or would my head be above the windshield and/or looking right at the top of the windshield?

I'm not sure how much this will help, but I'm 5'11" and I just sat in one of our convertible mustangs at work and with the seat all the way down I have about 5 inches of room above my head, and I look out straight through the middle of the windshield.

Edit, with the seat raised all the way up to simulate your height I have about three fingers width head room and I look out through the top third of the windshield but my view is not obstructed or anything.

This is interesting. I'm 6'1" and I have no issues with what your talking about. I would hit my head once in awhile getting in and out of my coupe (kept my chiropractor busy), but never did with my vert.
Find a vert on a lot somewhere and check it out if you can. In the same body year you're looking at of course.

Thanks guys. I defintely will go sit in one before I buy, but just was curious. Off topic in my own thread, but I just sat inside one of the new Camaro's the other day and my head hit the roof no matter how I adjusted the seat. Dunno how anyone fits in those things? It's so cramped.
