Default s2000 pulling left when I accelerate

So I came getting a 4 wheel alignment.

Took it on the freeway to see if the wobble was still there. the wobble is gone.

but when I accelerate it pulls left, and when I decelerate it pulls right..

Any thoughts? Ideas? help? what is this about?

Are your tires worn unevenly? How long did you have the "wobble" before getting it fixed?

the tire wear is even all around. First thing I checked. the wobble was there when I bought the car 2 weeks ago. Wobble is gone now

Check tire pressures all around.

Exact same thing happened to me after the paint shop. They mixed up the wheels and put one of the 255 on the front. Feels like CRAZY torque steer.

my guess is tire pressure is low. Happened to me one. Side walls are so stiff it's hard to tell visually.
