Does a real automobile have constant acceleration? Measured data for a Porsche 944 Turbo at maximum acceleration

Question:

Does a real automobile have constant acceleration? Measured data for a Porsche 944 Turbo at maximum acceleration are as shown in the table. 

t(s) v (mph) 0 0 2 28 4 46 6 60 8 70 78 10

a. Convert the velocities to m/s, then make a graph of velocity versus time. Based on your graph, is the acceleration constant? Explain. 

b. Draw a smooth curve through the points on your graph, then use your graph to estimate the car's acceleration at 2.0 s and 8.0 s. Give your answer in SI units.
