Yes! And if you want to wire this car "correctly" you will need a large constant-duty relay under the hood to disconnect the front battery from the rear switch........ Pain in the butt and extra cost, but well worth the hassle. I did an NHRA Stocker like this, the only "issue" is you need to remember to turn the main power off, especially after you put the car in the trailer. That constant-duty relay pulls a decent amount of power and will drain your batteries.........
Now, back to the battery location issue. I have a 2008 Buick Lucerne, stock battery location is under the rear seat. My 2015 Camaro has the battery in the trunk, from the factory, so do the newer Vettes.
These batteries are no relocated, wonder when the NHRA will start looking at these vehicles and making people put a switch in the rear of the car.
And what about those electric vehicles............
