Mr. Peter Collorafi is a car designer from Queensland, Australia. Peter has been designing and installing modifications for factory produced vehicles since 1980. For the past seven years Peter and his son Justin have worked with GM Holden on the Monaro creating mild performance and award winning styling modification packages. Because of Peter's background and experience, he realized that some of the Pontiac enthusiasts would not accept the Monaro as the new Pontiac GTO. As a result Peter and Justin set out to find a way to enhance the GTO design.
TAKEN OFF REVENGE DESIGN'S WEBSITE - THIS IS NOT TRUE, Peter, let alone Justin, DID NOT design the new Pontiac GTO concept car...Peter DID NOT enhance the GTO design, based off the Australian Monaro......he got someone else to do it, based off a drawing, it tooks weeks and weeks of late night working (in a secret location) promised him the world, but took the car to America and called it his own.......He maybe designing supercars, he maybe stealing designs, I don't know, but I do know what he did in Australia and know of SEVERAL others he took money off......
Peter ripped of Australians before ripping off America....sad to see you lot suffering as a result of HIS lies and cons.....I wish you all the best of luck getting ANY returns on your investments..State of Ohio people, nail him for all you can!!
Promises, promises, promises...........hopefully all will go well with the release of the GTM-R in January. Some of you doubted us in our previous posts when we questioned the integrity of Peter's character.......we too were strung along by him with his deadlines and dates, and held out hope that he would fulfill the promises he made........and guess what?????
we are still waiting.
Peter's promises and so called agreements to us were made long before the American market ever heard the name Revenge Designs...Peter owes hundred's of thousands in Australia which he used to set himself up in America......and appears to have no intention of paying his debts over here.
Let's hope he comes good on the GTM-R.....and we all get returns on our investments......
Thanks eye_ater....as posted previously, I wasn't aware of this board until recently....duly noted.
exclusive??? maybe because Peter has been so busy, he forgot to notify Harrops that he was their "exclusive" distributor in the USA..... they state he is "one of many stockists"....

WELL SAID!
my investment was based on his word.......something MOST aussies take seriously!
yes, you're right....real vehicles....imaginery contracts.....key word here is IF...
Good question eye_ater/JCMoney....I wasn't aware of the RVGD message board on iHub until recently. After reading 100's of posts, I realised there were several others questioning the business ethics of Peter Collorafi and therefore submitted my posts.
I would like us all to make $$$'s out of this but are WE or is HE that is the real question.
And THIS is NOT the FIRST TIME!!!
well said, Red....car designer? NOT
scammer?... DEFINATELY
On Ya Pete ONCE AGAIN!!!
Hmm He was going to look into this with an open mind.
Sorry Yes your right John schultz
Like I said email the local Mayor of Decatur,Michael Carrigan.
Try emailing Decatur Mayor see what he knows!!! Michael Carrigan
you say usually....and now?
i have made contact with him
I think that's a great idea.
thanks and noted..it is 3.15am here in Australia. Will contact you tomorrow.
i'm prepared to give you evidence but not on this site and would prefer my information is not posted on this site. If you are a trusted member, others will believe you. Please give me a contact email.
Peter was not actionable whilst in Australia because it wasn't until after he left that this all came to light due to various people in the industry sparking up when his name was mentioned. This is how the group of Aussies came to realise they weren't the only one who had been scammed. We all have our own documents, and yes, evidence.....how do we take this to trial without a person to prosecute to give you court documents, newspaper clippings etc.,
you are missing the point here.....it was promises he made...
i'm sorry we cannot provide on here what is is you are requesting...my main purpose on this board is to make it public knowledge that he has dishonestly misappropriated funds that were trusted to him, based on friendship and business relationships and fabricated the true nature of how the Pontiac GTO came to be what it is.
All I'm saying here is to look deeper into his history before investing your money on him.....we have lost ours.
Newspaper clippings of what? How do you prove a scam artist is a scam artist when he's not in the country to take action against? There are paper trails, but like any good scam, they aren't worth the paper they're written on.......do your homework with the websites provided by rscomps....We have paper trails, names, phone numbers, emails, including threats, photos, disgruntled aussies....but no Peter....If he were to come back to Australia, he would have alot to answer for and action COULD be taken, and documented evidence would be available for American investors.......
Without any documented proof given on this board, it's understandable you would expect there is no truth in what I have said. Even though I do have them, due to current litigation proceedings, I am not at liberty to provide names, phone numbers etc., on a public board. Regarding being a 'stupid' investor, at no time did I say I had invested in shares on the American market. I provided funds and more to Peter to enable him to start up in America, along with several other Australians who trusted him and believed they would receive all that they were promised. As for court records etc., it was only after he left that we Australians realised we had been duped by Peter and I'm sure you can imagine the legal costs involved in persuing court action on an international basis. Most of the Australians who invested money with Peter have lost enough money because of him, that they aren't prepared to spend more by paying exorbitant legal fees. As suggested in the post by rscomps, do your homework, like we have for over 2 years, whilst waiting for promises to be kept.......having read many of these posts, at least there are some who smell a rat......At the end of the day, it's your money........don't right us off as a pile of dung just yet........there are many upset Aussies...
As a new member, I only get 3 posts per day.....
This is an honest post put on this site for the reasons I stated. I have along, with many others, lost as a result of the business dealings with Peter Collorafi. My purpose is to try and prevent many others being eluded by Peter.
yes, I do. I have spoken with various people and witnessed documents.
As an investor in Revenge Designs, I am becoming increasingly concerned about the direction this company is heading. Having read many posts on this forum regarding Peter Collorafi of Revenge Designs, there seems to be alot of negativity surrounding his character and the ability to produce returns on our investments. As an Australian businessman with various contacts in the automotive industry, both national and international, I feel investors have a right to know who their CEO really is. We all have reason to be concerned about where our money is really going as I have recently been informed, and have confirmed, that Peter left a trail of dishonesty, debt and destruction when he left Australia. There are many Australians who lent Peter money to help fund the Concept Pontiac GTO project and one man who re-designed and created the GTO Concept Vehicle. All these Australians have not been paid back their money as promised and the man who created the GTO Concept Vehicle, has not only not received payment for his design and work, but received no recognition or credit for his involvment as promised by Peter. Worse still, Peter took the concept vehicle to America and claimed the entire concept and design as soley his own. This is the real truth of how Peter launched himself into the American market.
I am now seriously questioning my investment in this company.
