A launch control system and method for vehicles equipped with manual transmissions includes a throttle position sensor, a clutch position sensor, a vehicle speed sensor, a system activation switch and a control which receives data from the sensors and controls braking of the non-driven wheels. The control module contains a control algorithm which interrogates the system activation switch, interrogates the clutch position sensor, determines the vehicle speed, interrogates the throttle position sensor and under certain conditions applies the brakes to the non-driving wheels through the vehicle ABS system when the throttle is depressed beyond a predetermined threshold and until the clutch is released beyond a predetermined threshold.
