not really. we're talking apples and oranges here. in a transport catagory jet, an engine failure at takeoff is an abnormal procedure. in a light GA piston aircraft, it's an emergency.
right now in the airline world there is alot of discussion on rejected takeoffs. essentially, once past 100 knots you should commit to the takeoff unless you are absolutely certain the aircraft won't fly, which would be extremely rare. even in an engine failure you are much safer going out and working it out in flight rather than trying to stop on the runway.
in the GA light twin, alot more must be evaluated before trying to pin a "go/no go" decision on an airspeed number. GA planes are not built to the same standards, nor maintained to the same standards of a transport catagory, and the pilots from GA are not trained to the same standards as airline crews.
know your ability and your aircraft abilities, and try not to exceed either limitations.
