That is what I have been using and it works pretty good. It is also accurate within +/- 1 mph. Atleast that is the case with clock an actual car. You just have to make sure it is set for 1:1 scale.

If you get it post up your results. Up to now all I've heard is bad things about it. Things like, not very accurate, have to be very close to get a reading, hard to hit a fast moving car...things like that.
I've not used one so I'd be glad to hear more from people who have.
