Part of the reason sequential manual (aka paddle shifters or 'flappy paddle gearbox' for those who watch Top Gear) works so well for Formula 1 is that the steering ratio is very tight. The entire system is designed so that the driver never has to take his hands off the steering wheel or look down, as either action at 300 kph in a pack could have rather dire consequences.
On street cars it's goofy and pointless.
