Standard SD card and Micro SD card with adapter; same speed?

I'm going to buy a new SD card to be used in my car's audio player. What I would like to know is, if I buy a micro SD card with adapter, will it provide the same read/write speed as a standard SD card of the same model? Does using adapter affect speed?

The adapter is basically just a bunch of wires; they use the same signaling. The class of the device will determine the speed, not the adapter.

As far as my experience goes, there's no difference between using an SD card vs a micro SD card.

I've even booted full linux distributions from a micro-sd card (8GB) with a SD adapter
