Plot

Shortly 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 ditch 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 beat-up green Nissan Skyline GT-R R34. Brian rents out a garage to modify the car and repaint it silver before using it to win more races while heading eastbound. Upon reaching Jacksonville, Florida, he heads southbound toward Miami. Upon his arrival, he sees Slap Jack's Toyota Supra and Orange Julius' Mazda RX-7 before the screen reads "2 be continued…".
