Even more math
I thought it would be fun to use regression to predict future Porsche stats. It was ok until I got to 2002. Then it got hard. I ended up plotting 836 dots onto the graph. It took me all week.
The rules for this week's graphing project are as follows:
- I will be starting at the year 1950.
- I will not be counting diesel models because I doubt that Porsche will be producing future diesel models, as they discontinued all diesel models in 2018.
- I will only be counting main body styles. Coupe for 911, regular Panamera, SUV body for Cayenne.
The categories that I will be prediction are horsepower, top speed, 0-60 time, and quarter-mile time.
The year that I will predicting is 2031 (100th anniversary).
Full graph:
Horsepower:
To find the estimated amount of power in a given year you can use the equation, y=107.681*1.02138^x. When we plug in 100 we get around 893.05 horsepower. 893 is a huge power gain for only 9 years, but I think it's possible if Porsche invests in more powerful electric motors.
Top speed:
To find the estimated top speed in a given year you can use the equation, y=115.101*1.00699^x. When we plug in 100 we get around 231 mph. Like horsepower, this number is possible if they invest in betters motors.
0-60 time:
To find the estimated 0-60 time in a given year you can use the equation, y=13.2785*.981222^x. When we plug in 100 we get around 1.99 seconds. This number is possible if they invest in betters motors.
Quarter-mile time:
To find the estimated quarter-mile time in a given year you can use the equation, y=18.5704*.993886^x. When we plug in 100 we get around 10.1 seconds. This value is the most likly to be accurate.
I hope you all enjoyed this week's prediction.

I got my ACT scores back.
I took the ACT about a month ago. Everyone else in the district got their scores 2 weeks ago. I just got mine and I did pretty well.

A brief guide to Ferrari (166)
166 Spyder Corsa
I love this. It is my favorite 166. The thing produces 120 hp while only weighing around 1,500 lbs. It could hit 124 mph and has a 0-60 time of around 6.6 seconds. Only 9 were made and they go for north of $200,000
166 MM
This beauty has 140 hp from it's 2 liter V12. It was capable of doing 136 mph. Only 32 were made and they each go for up to $10,000,000.
166 Inter
This is probably the ugliest Ferrari ever made. It is literally the road version of the 166 MM. How did they mess up so bad? Yet they sell for around $900,000.
Dino 166 F2
This 166 is by far the youngest of the 166s. This was a F2 car for the 1968 season. It has 210 hp while weighing only 900 lbs.
They sell for around $1,300,000.
What one do you like the most? -
What is my favorite car from each brand? (A part 1)
Abarth
The Abarth 205 Vignale is far better then the 695 or the 124. My favorite parts are the grill, headlights and fender vents. These are very rare with only three ever being made. They sell for around $900,000 each.
AC
You are all probably familiar with the AC Ace, but do you know about the Aceca? It is essentially a coupe version of the Ace. It takes every thing good with the Ace and turns it up a notch. They sell for around $330,000.
Acura
I love the current NSX. I think it fits in with the rest of Acura's models a bit better then the original did. I think the base model looks a bit better then the Type S does.
Alfa Romeo
Throughout the 20th century Alfa has proven themselves to be a great brand. I like a lot of Alfas but the 33 Stradale stands out from the rest. I'm not sure what does it for me. Is it the beautiful styling or the racing pedigree? Only ten where ever built. Nine in Rossa Corsa and one in blue. They sell for around $12,250,000.
Alpine
I love the A110. I think it is more then enough to compete with the Porsche Cayman. It is the best looking French car of the decade, and I am including the Chiron.
AMC
The AMX III my only be a concept, but I decided to include it in this list for two reasons. One, AMC actually made 6 working models. And two, it's my list and I can do what I want. What else can I say? It's a 1960's supercar developed by Bizzarinni.
Amilcar
Another Great French brand. The Amilcar Pégase G36 looks like every other French sportscar from the 1930's, and that's not really a bad thing. They each go for over $500,000 today.
Apollo
The Apollo 5000GT is an unknown sportscar from the 1960's. I picked it because it looks like it's smiling. They are around $330,000 each.

RE: Oppo Pixel Game 38
@Nick-Hynds So if I struggled to find any information about it, you all have no chance because you don't actually know what to look for.

RE: Oppo Pixel Game 38
@SAAB_9-3_SportCombi To give you an idea of how obscure it is, I typed in the exact name of the model into google and I was only able to find one article about it on the 5th page of google. The article is in Italian.
