No, there is no Florida tort such as outrage. In certain circumstances, a plaintiff can get punitive damages, though.
And I'd like to say I yield to no one in my dislike of Hooters. But I also don't believe in a jury assessing legal damages against a company based upon their dislike of the company. Although of course it happens all the time.

Just because they are a "Hooters" girl doesn't mean they are completely stupid (even in Florida!}

While I disagree with your analysis of this case, it appears that our differences are honest ones. What, if anything, do you think Hooters owes this lady? My thinking is that they would have to owe her either the car or nothing at all. While they may settle for less than the car, it is clear in my mind that if there was some sort of "contract" related to the contest, she gets the car. If not, she gets nothing. Outside of pragmatic considerations, there is no middle ground that I can see.
