Dominic Toretto and Letty Ortiz are enjoying their honeymoon in Havana when Dominic's cousin, Fernando, gets into trouble over a debt owed to a local racer named Raldo. Sensing that Raldo is a loan shark, Dominic steps in and challenges him to a race. The stakes? Fernando's 1949 Chevrolet Fleetline against Raldo's 1956 Ford Fairlane Crown Victoria, with Dominic putting up his own 1961 Chevrolet Impala as collateral. In a heart-pounding race, Dominic narrowly secures the win. He allows Fernando to keep his car, remarking that the Toretto family could use a faster ride.
