Post 737 going supersonic?

Guys,. .. .I read an article about a modified NASA 737-800, used for Shuttle approach work to Edwards. I the article it stated that the 738 was modified to get to 1.07 Mach or something like that. Is this possible or is this just journos getting their facts screwed up agin? I know the 777-200 was dive-tested to 0.96 Mach, but that's about it. Any info would be appreciated. Maybe a 737 driver could scare the hell out of their pax by trying it? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
