40409 hot rod — The hot rod from 40409 was nicer; reviewer plans to recycle the Tuning Workshop hot rod and park the 40409 version instead.

Speed Champions cars — Speed Champions cars are nicer than the street racer included in this set.

other City sets — In terms of City sets, reviewer usually gets 83 bricks per minifigure, while this set has 128 bricks per minifigure, faring much worse in direct theme comparison.
