I have used one of these, they will give you 1/4 mile, 0-100, 100-0, cornering Gs, and do a rough guess at rear wheel horse power. They are pretty cool, but I would try to borrow one to see if you liked it first, they can be a real prick to keep stuck to the windscreen, and if they get tilted then they are heaps inaccurate.
