With my bucket seat bolted to the floor pan directly, I could sit up with a helmet on and there would still be a few inches to the roof. I had it tilted backwards as far as it would go, and my knees still cleared the steering wheel despite my legs being pretty long.
On a S2000 with stock seats, the top of the windscreen is more in my face, though I think I could squeeze a helmet under the roof without touching. On a Miata, I think a helmet would definitely touch because the seat doesn't go far back enough for me to lean it backwards. I can fit in the passenger seat of a Miata because I can sit further forward, giving me space to lean the seat back.

I honestly think the car would have been a lot more comfortable were I taller. Same for a Miata. For me to be really comfortable with the pedals and the steering wheel, I have my knees jammed up against the dash. An S2000 is FAR more comfortable for me.
