"The Fast & The Furious" (also known as "The Fast and Furious"), Is the First film or the First installment in the "Fast & Furious" franchise which saw over 5 films in total with another one expected. For those who don't know, its a well know action street racing movie, which featured a wide variety of Tuners. "The Fast & The Furious" came out way back in 2001.

The Dodge Charger was rebuilt and left in the garage as Dominic Toretto (Vin Diesel) was to scared to drive it.
