The resistance of a good connector is less than the cable that it replaces so the only way that it can reduce the performance is if it means you have to put extra cable in. I think if you're careful then it should be just as good. I bet if you did a controlled, scientific test then it'd show that there was no measurable difference.
As for big cars. Well, it's true that you need a spanner to take off the battery leads. But big cars have fuses! That's why your car doesn't catch fire when you short out the radio  .

so in comparason, how many servos cause a speedo to fry
try shorting out your big red wire to your starter motor, NOT all cars have fuses where they could hence why the fire brigade when on scene will pop a bonnet and cut the battery wires.
no one seems to have noted that when the smoke is release and as the car in this topic the speedo was still glowing orange, yes the speedo was goosed but how long could the cells take a dead short before poping, (see the rcracechat threasd on exploding 4200's.) glen could have been taking the car out side and have a cell go up in his face. now if im marshalling and see smoke ill look, if i can not unplug as its soldered in, then car goes down and i walk away, remember you marshal at your own risk and take steps to prevent injury to your self.
