Acceleration pull

OK...I have searched on troubleshooting and I haven't found anything on this topic. With that being said here we go.

When I start to accelerate quickly from a stop, my car wants to pull hard to the right. The steering wheel actually turns ¼ of a turn. After 1st gear the car will drive straight...that is when I'm just cruising. It doesn’t do it unless I am really giving it some torque. Is anyone else having this problem or am I just paranoid?

Yup, torquesteer. Also, just in case, check your front tire pressure to insure they are the same on both sides.
