Mine has hit 23 going down some of the bridges. I'm sure it has also hit 60 while being carried on the back of a truck and who knows how fast it would go if it was dropped from an airplane.

Dig into the Florida statutes and you might find the test conditions for the 20mph limit determination.

20+ downhill isn't likely to be an issue (especially as rare as hills are). On the other hand, 23mph along Pinellas Place could be an issue.
