For what its worth all new GM cars with a trunk mounted battery (CTS, XTS, ATS, Corvette, ect) don't have any bulkheads, fused connections, or solenoids to kill power to the starter cable from front to rear. They have one battery cable that runs to the front fuse block and then splits off to the starter, alternator, and fuse blocks.

I hear what you are saying. GM designers have been wrong before. The new cars have been designed this way with big money to support R&D. Also Special cable holders and loom are used as well. Again, I understand what you are saying.

I wouldn't go that far lol. Also on the note of cables I know its considered a no no if you search for it on here, but on the 08-09ish Cadillac CTS's they use 0/0 welding cable on the ground side. Its printed right on the cable.
