Dave, I figured the 308 and 328 were the same in dimensions for headroom that's good to know that there is a 1 inch diffrence. If I see a GTB for sale in my area I will try it on for size.

In the case of 308's and 328's, GTB's have slightly more headroom. 308's have about an inch more than 328's (seat is higher in 328's, roof the same). 348's have quite a bit more headroom. How you fit does depend on how you are built. It pays to have long legs and a short torso.
As for other issue GTS vs GTB, GTB's are much better driving and, or course, better looking. I am prejudiced, but I have had both so can speak from actual extensive experience.

Thanks Terry. I fit in a Gtsi with no problem legwise but it is a little tight with the roof on. However it was extremely tight for me in the passenger seat,very uncomfortable.

Im 6'2 and fit in my '77 GTB just fine. I was actually surprised at how much leg room there was and my seat is not fully back. However, be prepared for the full "Italian driving position". The legs are stretched out... but so are the arms!

Unless you short of leg and very long of torso, you should have no problem. Cants say the same for a GTS.

BTW: My GTB will be for sale shortly.

I'm wondering how much headroom there is in a 3x8 gtb. I'm 6'3 would I fit comfortably? I always planned on getting a gtsi but the gtb has been growing on me and I am getting a convertible now. TIA
