That Geo's been completely redone. If you check that link back to the main site, you'll find that it's been modded for drag racing, and the windshield's been raked back a bunch, so that the OEM windshield could be used with the chopped top.
Windshield angle isn't really a notable part of aero, from what I've read/learned.
I believe HotRod magazine did an aero spot where they covered it, because the windshield angle of most cars is already in the "ideal range", raking the windshield would only reduce frontal area. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, though.
