Default Happy Birthday to Me

Picked up a black/black 2004 S2000 today... had to fly to Vancouver to get it, and drive it 800km home. Super nice, and better than I expected. One question though... when I step on it then shift, it almost seems like the car has torque-steer... but of course it isn't... but it kind of 'twists' a bit when I am on the gas hard. There is no wheel spin or anything... so I can't see the LSD being a factor... it doesn't pull or anything at cruise, you can take your hands off it and it goes straight... but I hit it, and it jumps to the right...

Is this normal?

Not normal but common it likely twists when you chop the throttle too it is the result of LSD and your rear tires being different sizes .start with air pressure. Then do 4 wheel alignment then replace rear tires. One of those 3 items will fix it
