Well, unfortunately, Cobras suck at picking up Ka 35.5 radar. So much so that when a Cobra alerts to 35.5 you could practically throw a rock at the patrol car and stand a fairly good chance of hitting it! That is just the way Cobra's are since they are banking on nearly all of your Ka encounters being on the most popular Ka 34.7 frequency.

If I rephrase your question as to what is/was the best Cobra ever? That would have to be their 1980s Trapshooter Pro II models. Those models were the same size as the original Escort and boasted X and K sensitivities of -117dBm and -115dBm respectively. No dual tone alert though -- which sucked. It was pretty much all downhill for Cobra since then.
