The OP wants to know if the physical car is the same size. I.E does the GT have a bigger cabin, more length or width than a base model.

The interior dimensions are probably a little different with ones with the sunroof.

Yes that is what I meant. I think most cars with sunroofs have less headroom than the ones without.

The height of the 8 might be slightly different with sunroof as the sunroof models have a rubber rim that rises above the metal roof, but it would be slight.

I love having all of the windows and the sunroof open, you become one with the road by having the lights and sounds coming to you in all directions. When i was looking for my eight i wanted one with a sunroof (call me picky?)
