If they are lidar, then laser, so no not really.
In terms of accelerating hard off the line, lidar would still get you if you are in range of it's spec and capabilities i would say, also the intersection you are at, and how the camera is physically setup potentially.
To make it happen, i'd suggest you'd want a 6k dump with semi-slicks on a dry road to achieve a rapid accel to 65 to do it within it's target range though! street-cred! (at which point you may be lucky enough to have enough blue rubber smoke to hide your number plate)

LIDAR relies on the principle of time-of-flight of a laser beam to calculate the speed of the target object. Devices typically send out a stream of approximately 100 pulses over the span of three-tenths of a second. The reflected signals are then processed using statistical algorithm to pick which reflected signals to retain.
The use of many reflections and an averaging technique in the speed measurement process increase the integrity of the speed reading. Vehicles are usually equipped with a horizontally oriented registration plate that, when illuminated, causes a high integrity reflection to be returned to the LIDAR - despite the shape of the vehicle.
In locations that do not require that a front or rear registration plate is fitted, headlamps and rear-reflectors provide almost ideal retro-reflective surfaces overcoming the reflections from uneven or non-compliant reflective surfaces thereby eliminating “sweep” error. It is these mechanisms which cause concern that LIDAR is somehow unreliable.
