While Tommy may win, it would indeed be a "hollow victory" and would prove nothing. After the win, perhaps Tommy and the Shelby marketing group could do lunch, and talk about how they fooled the public with much hype. Yeah, they really pulled a fast one on MOST of the "sheep" out there, but did not fool the serious car guys for a second.
...just a thought.
A link to the pathetic video.
