Default Steering pulling to right

I have 2500 miles on my MY2001. Recently the car seems to want to pull very slightly to the right. More slowing down than accelerating. Tire pressure is a perfect 34/32 F/R. Any thoughts?

Check the alignment if the tire pressures are fine as you stated.

Check front pad wear, because it pulls under "slowing down" if the pull is happening under braking it might be a sticky caliper.

Can you check pad wear on the S2000 by just looking in the rims or do you need to remove the tire?

Remember too that cars "pull" slightly to the right on crowned roads. Make sure you're not on a road that is crowned for runoff. Does it do it on a multi lane highway?
