Afterwards, the two decide to race, pitting the Charger up against O’Conner’s heavily modified Supra. The race ends in a tie, but shortly afterwards Dom crashes into a semi-truck, totaling the car. The Charger makes a return in Fast and Furious, having been partially rebuilt by Letty then finished by Dom, only to have it again destroyed when Dom abandons it to avoid a series of explosions. Miraculously, the vehicle makes yet another return in Fast Five, when it is used during a jailbreak. It is seen one final time when it is destroyed (for the final time) after it is rammed by an armored car.
