1. A launch control system for a vehicle having a torque generating system to generate and transfer drive torque to a transmission, the launch control system comprising:
a driver interface including a touchscreen configured to display information to and receive input from a driver of the vehicle; and
a controller in signal communication with the driver interface, the torque generating system, and the transmission, and configured to:
display, via the driver interface touchscreen, a torque reduction request for a gear shift of the transmission that enables the driver to select an amount of torque reduction from a predetermined range that the gear shift will receive;
receive, from the driver via the driver interface touchscreen, a driver selected torque reduction amount request for the gear shift; and
perform the driver selected torque reduction amount request at the torque generating system during the gear shift, to thereby facilitate reducing torque to vehicle wheels to reduce wheel slip during the gear shift.
