Automatic with NPP

Is the automatic with NPP a good option or pointless ? I can see where it would be nice with the stick but not sure with the automatic. Does anybody have any comments ?

It is definetly worth it. You will still get the more agressive tone past 3,500 rpm or so. Unless you plan on some aftermarket exhaust don't get the NPP. Otherwise it is worth the money.

I've had 3 auto's with the NPP. (2 08's and now a 2010 GS Coupe).
I wouldn't buy any Vette without the NPP. I've also always added the M2W for control of the exhaust.
The paddle shifters with the NPP and M2W are a blast, especially in mountain curves.
My advice...get the NPP & add a M2W, even with the auto.

I sure hope so. I have an A6 without NPP.

But I am delivering my car to have B&B Fusion with Dual Mode today!

Sure hope it is worth it.

Just the opposite here, my wife wants them open all the time. Says it's music to her ear's. She wanted the louder pipe's on the Harley, too.
