This occurs during the scene where it is Dominic and Brian racing (Dominic is in his dad's 900-hp muscle car and Brian in his Supra). When Dominic's car flips after hitting the semi, you can see the stunt-man's helmet during the crash. Either Dominic has some quick hands, and quick thinking to put on a helmet, or they goofed.
Those types of scenes are so ridiculously hard to make. Do you think they're going to redo the shot just because the stunt guy's helmet was showing? Come on!
Actually, the charger is a 1969!
1969 Dodge Charger; Top Speed: 145 Miles Per Hour; 0-60: 4 Seconds; Quarter Mile: 11 Seconds.
