master brake cylinder
Sometimes when I apply the brakes, the vette veers off left or right. When it does that, it's usually a strong pull. Most of the time it goes straight. Could this be the master brake cylinder?

Don't think it is the master cylinder. There are lot of possible reasons for your problem. Some things to look at:
are tires properly inflated?
is the road surface even? irregularities in the road can cause you to pull to the left or right.
are the brake pads on one side more worn or unevenly worn than the others?
When is the last time the car was aligned?

I doubt it's the MC.
My car pulled too until I checked the tires. Both on the left side were low. Filled them up and all is fine now.
Like the others say, if the road has lower spots where the tires are, it will pull left and right due to size of tires.
I'd get the brakes inspected unless you have know how to do it yourself.
good luck!

Maybe one of the calipers is malfunctioning.
