The 2000 model was the last year for Performance Shift, however it was not removed from the "electronics" because it would have cost more to re-tool, so the option is there its just not hooked up.
IIRC, some of the earlier model years that had performance shift and did not have the DIC, had a light that lite up on the dash, however if you have a DIC in the car that light wont light.
I have a 2001 and added performance shift, and the DIC does light up "Performance Shift".
I have also edited my PCM, so that when in Performance Shift, I get firmer shifts (upped the pressure in the trans), Higher RPM's before shifting (Almost to the redline before it shifts in WOT) and skip shift below 40 mph (when below 40 MPH, and you go WOT, it will shift from 3rd to 2nd to 1st in less than 1/2 a second.
