Comparing the two cars objectively, in stock form:
Viggen should be quicker, since they have the same engine and the Viggen is quite a bit lighter. Handling, the Aero has a true independent rear suspension versus the Viggen's low-tech and heavy beam axle, and the stock Aero by all accounts has torque steer better under control (especially with an automatic). Offsetting the better suspension design in the Aero is the fact that the Viggen is lighter. Comfort, the Viggen is very comfortable, but I think most would find the Aero smoother, quieter, and roomier inside.
Subjectively, I think the Viggen is the far more entertaining car, and is obviously more rare. Since you talk of modifying, you can get rid of most of the handling sins and make the Viggen a very nice handling car.
