Technically true, but functionally & realistically a "draw."

Why? Because the movement of air pressure (vacuum) is relatively much SLOWER (millisecond) than the speed of electrons (microsecond)...even though those electrons have to functionally navigate the physical distances (and timing gates) between the sensor, computer, OBD-II CAN-bus, and lastly the SGII or UG.

Thus, my bet is on the electron over the physically moving bourdon-tube needle for pure "speed."
