Can cherenkov effect be used for telling how fast FTL spaceship moves?

Imagine an alternate universe where FTL do happens, let's just say the inhabitants discovered a hypothetical particles that allows ordinary matter to temporarily be in superposition of any amount of mass including negative value... [I'm drunk don't mind me]

Okay straight to the point, there should be luminous boom, a flash when the spaceship goes faster than light so I'm wondering if we can measure the blue shift or any properties of this cherenkov effect to determine how much faster than the speed of light the spaceship moved? Please show your working and round off to the third sig fig.
