Where does the I4 fit into this summary? Is that like the runt compared to these other two?

Well I'll tell you a story first...
While I was still looking for a V6, I test drove a 1LT V6 that had about 5k miles on it. I nailed the gas and it immediately revved and took off. It was quick and it surprised my mother who drives a G37 which is comparably powered.
Later still, I purchased a brand new 2017 1LT V6 never used 5 miles on the odometer and it didn't feel quite as strong..it didn't feel weak or sluggish...but it took alittle more time to accellerate and rev...until later.. about 5k miles into it...it woke up to the point where I began to question as to whether or not it could hang with my LS1....by 15k miles I was pretty sure it COULD hang with my LS1.
After about 5k miles the motor loosens up considerably and it becomes easier for it to rev. After that it continues to loosen up over time just not as rapidly.
You'll notice a difference between a brand new 6th Gen and a used 6th Gen...oh and I didnt follow break in procedures...I told her this is how it is and had no mercy on it.
