1) My opinion is that the autobahn is highly overrated as a thing to do. I've driven it E-W-N&S, and its greatest feature is that you get where you're going more quickly than you would here in the States. There are, however, speed limits in built-up areas, there is still traffic, and with much of it two-lanes each way, having trucks limited to 90 KPH in the right-hand lane can make for some exciting moments as drivers going 100 KPH pull out to go around while you're approaching at 250 KPH in the left-hand lane. The three-lane sections away from cities are the places to get the full effect. But after the first half-hour or so...well, at that point...been there, done that. I'm jaded, I know.

2) I don't get into that stuff.

My suggestion is the same as always: take your car to a circuit track if you want some real excitement. Street driving will never feel the same after you do that 2-3 times.
