Stop making sense. That's not allowed in this thread.

I4 is an awesome engine. In a Gen 6 Camaro it delivers a really fun to drive car. Before Camaro moved to Alpha, I had an M6 2.0T ATS for 6-months and I knew the 6th Gen Camaro was going to land with the same powertrain. I was already primed to buy one. I spent more than a little bit of time embarrasing 6-cylinder 3-Series. I wound up buying a 2017 LT1, but that story is a long and winding road not worth going into here.

The V6 DOHC is an awesome engine. 335 hp is nothing to sneeze at. Combined with the Alpha platform's handling it delivers an outstanding track vehicle. The 1LE outperforms 4th Gen and some 5th Gen CORVETTES in every respect (acceleration, handling, braking). Yes, more modern should be better, but if a 5th Gen Vette is a good car, it didn't just gradually slide into the "suck" pile. That would imply that a Gen 6 V6 Camaro is also a very good car.

The LT1 in Alpha platform is an absolute beast. I thoroughly enjoy mine. It transforms the Camaro into a different class of vehicle. Call it a pony car, a muscle car, a sports car.....it competes very favorably in all those classifications and punches way above its weight class. However you want to classify it is probably based on how you choose to use it.

Three excellent engine choices.....one basic vehicle.....enjoy the excess of riches and let those who chose differently than you did enjoy their choice.
