In the scene after the police chase and fail to capture the main characters, they are shown inspecting the engine of the Ford GT with a black light. On the engine is a single plane intake manifold. However, Ford GT's are supercharged. A twin screw supercharger should be sitting there instead. [The car represented in this scene is a Ford GT40, from the 60s. These original versions of the contemporary Ford GT were in fact NOT supercharged. A twin screw should NOT have been shown.]
Edit
When Brian slams the brakes when he's trying to evade the two cops on the dirt-bikes, the one who lands on his hood first flips over the hood and down the right side of the car. In the following shot, he actually lands on the windshield. [He does not actually land on the Charger.Instead, he lands on the windshield of done old car parked beside.]
Edit Time
The gang steal four brand new Police spec 2011 Dodge Chargers. When Brian and Dom yank the safe out, the Chargers they're driving are older spec, with the old tail lights. Han and Roman are seen driving the other, new Chargers later in that chase. [Not really a continuity error since they could have swapped them at any point between taking the cars and the final heist.]
Edit
Hobbs's team is supposed to be the "best of the best. Yet they fire their guns with no precision of any kind. [Hobbs and his team are referred to as the best people to find someone. That does not mean they are the best at firearms. In addition, when they are ambushed, in that type of situation it is not easy to made a precise shot.]
Edit Time
When Brian and Dom jump from the cliff and land in the water. They do not show any signs of bruising, not even a small one. From that height, hitting the water is like hitting concrete. It probably wouldn't kill them, but they wouldn't just walk away in the way they did. [Actually, this would be entirely possible as the cars hit the water first thus breaking the surface tension for Dom and Brian to safely land.]
Edit Time
When being chased near the end, Paul Walkers car windshield gets smashed by 2 bullets, and then by a guy hitting it from falling off a motor bike, then magically in the next shot and the rest of the chase, the windshield is intact. [If you look closely the bullet marks are there the rest of the car chase on the passenger side. The guy who fell off the motorcycle lands on a parked car to the side, not on Brian's car.]
Edit
In the scene in which they are being chased with the vault attached, the length of cable between each car and the vault is the same. Coming out of the police station, both cars can't fit between the exit next to each other, so one car pulls in front of the other. This realistically would not be possible because a) one car alone is not strong enough to pull the vault, and because one car backed off to give the other car room to pull out in front they would stop moving, and b) if they were both pulling on the vault, the towing cable on the car that went in front of the other car would have realistically crossed paths with the car behind and either gone right through it or crashed it. Yet neither happens. [Momentum. When you drag something along a path you create motion. If you stop dragging it, it will not stop moving straight away. So they maneuvered the cars to fit between exit and then moved into position to continue to drag the vault.]

In the scene where the team needs Reyes's fingerprints to open the safe, Gisele goes in a bikini towards Reyes on the beach and sits on his lap. He puts his left hand on the thong, and they use the thong to get the fingerprints to open the safe. But actually the safe opens with his Right Hand prints, as one would have noticed in the earlier scene. [Just because Reyes used his right hand once onscreen doesn't mean the safe isn't set up to use either handprint.]

In the scene where Vin Diesel and Paul walker are driving off with the vault, as they speed around a corner the vault flips and rolls several times (which would twist the wires) yet when they drive off they are un-twisted. [In the outside shot before the one where you can see the shooting police men, you can see the vault flipping over again, only this timme the other way around then when it hit the little poles. This would leave it the same way up as when they ripped it out of the wall, and the wires untwisted.]

When Dom 'visits' officer Elesa Neves at her house, it is night time. He stays there and chats with her for a few minutes. Yet when he opens the front door to leave, there is daylight outside. [She lives in an apartment. There is a window just outside the front door suggesting it leads to a hallway where there is a light not directly outside.]
Edit Corrected by XIII
When the 4x4 crashes into the train and is lifted from the tracks, there are no rails. [The rails can be seen in every shot except one (angle). From this angle the rails are most likely obscured by the dust created by the impact.]
Edit Corrected by XIII
Near the end of the movie, both Roman and Taj are back in the USA in Taj's garage (as evidenced by the Florida license plates). If they were targeted fugitives (mentioned earlier in the movie), would they not have been arrested upon their arrival back to the US? [It's never said how they got back into the country. They could have been smuggled in or even bought new identities. There are alot of possibilities.]
Edit
When Reyes enters the vault, he scans his right hand. Han and Elana try to obtain his handprint by having Reyes put his hand on Elana's bathing suit. They succeed in getting his left hand print. When Tej cracks the vault, he uses his right hand with Reyes' left hand print to open the vault. Cloth doesn't pick up fingerprints anyway. [Wrong. Cloth can and does hold fingerprints. Recently improved techniques can reveal fingerprints.]
