Headroom in a 458

I am considering a 458 but there are none to look at in my area. I sit very high in a car - long body & short legs. A 430 does not have enough for me. 997 Porsches fit with no problem with at most a half inch of headroom to spare. Any thoughts as to whether I can fit in a 458? I don't want to travel to look at a car if I will just be wasting my time. Thanks for any advice you can give me.

vig168 is infamous around these parts
i think it will be tough if you don't fit in a 430. i have a porsche turbo and never had any problems to fit in comfortably. but in a 458, my hair almost touches the roof. BTW, what is your height?
