What would be particularly bad about running a real time application like that on an Arduino? Isn't that what they're made for?

Arduino boards arn't designed to operate in a rugged environment such as a car which is a pretty hostile environment regarding vibrations, electro magnetic interference and thermal cycling.

Arduino is not real time.

Sure it is. It's nothing but a gussied-up libc implementation for 8-bit AVRs. It's as "real time" as you want it to be.
