A launch control system launches a vehicle from a slowed speed or stopped condition, to an accelerated speed. The system is activated by operating a switch while the vehicle is stopped. An acceleration pedal is depressed while an up shifter paddle and down shifter paddle are being held in a shifting position. The system launches the vehicle when the up shifter paddle and the down shifter paddle are simultaneously moved to a non-shifting position. The system automatically switches gears during the launch so as to increase the speed of the vehicle. The system is activated until the speed of the vehicle reaches a speed associated with the amount the accelerated pedal is depressed. The system may further inhibit yaw rotation of the vehicle during launch by moderating a rotation rate of the vehicle engine.
