Plot

After letting Dominic Toretto escape from the authorities, Brian O'Conner leaves his home in Los Angeles in his modified Mitsubishi 3000 GT VR-4 before LAPD and the FBI launch a national manhunt on him. While on the run, he makes a living out of winning street races in Phoenix, Arizona, and Albuquerque, New Mexico. One night at a motel, Brian is forced to abandon his car when the local police surround it. He manages to hitch a ride from a woman in a Mitsubishi Eclipse Spyder and is dropped off at a used car lot in San Antonio, Texas, where he buys a Nissan Skyline GT-R R34 in poor condition. Brian rents out a garage to modify the car before using it to win more races. Arriving in Miami he sees Slap Jack's Toyota Supra and Orange Julius' Mazda RX-7 before the screen reads "2 be continued...".
