Default Which Civic has Vtec

I know this is the dumbest question of all, but my friend and cousin made a bet against me that a 1997 Civic EX doesn't have Vtec.

This is what i thought:
1992- Civic gets new body still
1993- SOHC Vtec added to EX model
1999- Civic Si gets DOHC vtec
2002 -Civic Si gets Dohc i-vtec

is this correct? I thought vtec is what added on the extra 2hp in the Ex engine.

The bad thing about this is that my friend owns a 1997 Civic Ex and she doesn't know if it has vtec or not.

1993-95 Civic EX Coupe // 1.6 VTEC 125 hp
1992-95 Civic EX Sedan // 1.6 VTEC 125 hp
1992-95 Civic Si Hatchback // 1.6 VTEC 125 hp

1996-00 Civic EX Coupe // 1.6 VTEC 127 hp
1996-00 Civic HX Coupe // 1.6 VTEC-E 115 hp



when in doubt, locate the VTEC solenoid near the distributor.
