Brian O'Conner (Paul Walker), the disgraced cop from the first film, is on the run because he let Dominic Toretto escape. He comes to Miami to start a new life. Here he makes new friends Tej (Ludacris) an ex-street racer and well-known car tuner Jimmy (Jin) as well as Suki (Devon Aoki) - also a street racer. Conner competes with fellow street racers in high stakes races to win money for a living.
One night after winning a race, he is caught by US Customs agents after his car is disabled by the (fictional) claw-like ESD (Electronic Disruption Device) that is deployed by US Customs Agent Markham. He is arrested and his former boss FBI Agent Bilkins makes a deal with him saying that if he accepts to take part in a mission, his criminal record will be wiped clean.
O'Conner and Bilkins then travel to Barstow California where O'Conner proposes the deal to his childhood friend and ex-con Roman Pierce (Tyrese). Together their mission involves working undercover as street racers for a drug lord - Carter Verone, with help from Monica (Eva Mendes) an undercover U.S. customs agent who becomes Carter's love interest. They win a highly charged "audition" race and strike a deal with Verone, who stated, "Drive the package to the Keys and I'll personally hand over 100Gs($100,000) at the finish line". Roman Pierce requests that the prize be $100,000 for both himself and O'Connor.
This leads to several scuffs and car sequences throughout the movie, along with some spectacular car races. During the course of the movie Brian and Roman begin to realize the major trouble they are in and ask Tej to arrange a race for "pink slips" with two of the racers from the audition race earlier in the movie; O'Conner and Roman win Korpi's 1969 Yenko Camaro and Darden's 1970 Challenger R/T.
Later on that night Brian and Roman arrive at Verone's nightclub so Verone can "persuade" a police detective named Whitworth into keeping the local police away from Brian and Roman so they may transport the money. The next morning they embark on the mission in their Mitsubishis with Verone's money in the trunks and two of his henchmen riding along. During the transportation of Verone's money the corrupt Detective Whitworth calls in the army of police units he has waiting nearby. During the chase they lead the police to a warehouse complex. The police surround the front of the garage area so Brian and Roman's street racer friends create a "scramble" diversion allowing Brian and Roman to sneak away in the Camaro and Challenger continuing their mission. As the drama unfolds, Verone tries to escape aboard his yacht after informing Monica that he knew she was an undercover U.S. Customs agent. While aboard the yacht he scolds her on her slip-up for informing U.S. Customs agents about Verone's intention to flee the country via a secluded airfield. The finale occurs with Conner's Camaro jumping off of a nearby ramp and landing on the top of the yacht to save Monica. At the end Carter is arrested and the duffle bags carrying his drug money are recovered, save for an undisclosed amount having been secretly stolen by both Brian and Roman
