Default Pulling slightly to the right when accelerating

I'm noticing the car is pulling very slightly to the right when I accelerate. If I'm doing 40 or so in second and accelerate, it feels like the front of the car is pulling to the left just a little bit. When the tires break loose the rear of the car always slides out to the right.

Does anybody else experience this?

The car isn't heavily modified. LS2 with some bolt-ons. The alignment seems fine. Not pulling to one side or pulling when braking.

Is this some thing to be expected with the car?

I am no tech person to fully explain this. The rotational torque force will always make the rear of a car move to the right. This is saying with the car at or near stop. You go WOT. The tires break loose and start smoking. The rearend will move to the right. I am sure someone can correct me. I do not mind being corrected.

same thing, just noticed. I thought it was an uneven road at first. I don't really step on it hard just a moderate acceleration.

My car does not do this.

On your alignment sheet, what is the thrust angle?
