Find a big "C5" or "Corvette Emblem" on the computer (nice and big) print it out and pin it up against the pumpkin and take a knife and try to carve out the emblem.

Thats the best I can think of.

Good luck with this. Heck, I can't even carve a scary face into a pumpkin.

I see you have been watching American Chopper

It is very easy to do and it all up to how much detail you want.

get a picture of a C5 on a angle then print the picture out. Then you highlight the areas that you wish to cut out. Then cut out the area that you highlighted and then tape the template to the pumpkin. Then colour the areas that you want to cut out on the pumpkin, then cut away.

That is basically what I do for my cutout that I make. here are a few examples. The first one is my template that i use to transfer the design to wood
