I set the lap record in the A800 with 18.4

Maybe for VTA and classes with 25.5 it's different but for me (and if you read back I was one of the most reluctant ppl to go to the A800) the A800 is faster.
Nexxus, like any 2 different cars one could be faster than the other based on setup. Their are substantial differences between 700 and 800. Track width and wheel base being 2 of them. If you're running the FFG, take that off and go back to straight 700L. Not saying the 800 isn't faster, there's just no reason the 700 shouldn't be as fast.
