I am very interested in both of these but can anyone here with a 10/11 rs advise me what they really noticed as an improvement.

Thanks as always

To be honest with you the TTS is an awesome car. It is silly fast!
Personally, I got bored with it after a few months. With the speed restrictions in this country, it's impossible to tap into the turbos. I needed more from the car.
The GT3 rs is just one of those cars that intoxicates you. I love the raw feeling of the car. The lack of insulation in the car makes it a real treat. You can hear small stones hitting under the car. The sound of the NA engine is a thing of pure bliss.
The steering is precise, and the car becomes an extension of you while driving. I drive the car to the office, supermarket, etc without any problem whatsoever. I leave the car in the garage at times but she is not a garage queen by any means.
I've owned many great cars in my life time, this car by far is the best one I have ever owned. This is truly a very special car. I hope this helps.

He is talking about something else. If the accessories Orbit is selling is helping the guys during their fast lap around the track.

At Roebling road I added CUP lip and Gurney flap within an our between 2 sessions and I was between 0.5 second and 1 full second faster. You can't feel it. Just data.

Yes, I had cup lip and Gurney for sure. I added dive planes later.

Dive planes help, but I did not do real testing, so who knows how much.
I bought them for prettyness.

I do run max wing rear+ Gurney, so I want everything I can get for front downforce.
No science. They exist I bought them LOL.

Downforce and balance make a difference. I am amazed that lowering the rear wing takes care of understeer for example in some corners...

It's all easy glue on stuff, so why not?

Gurney is 10mm.

No downforce numbers, we just look at laptime data while drinking beer.
