Hey there my friends, I've noticed since buying the car new (991.2 GT3), there is a slight right side pull. I've actually noticed this on other cars as well and I'm assuming it is just me and that the car is just super precise. Has anyone noticed this? I live in the Bay Area (SF) and the roads are pretty terrible.

Thanks everyone!

Check your tire pressures. I've noticed with performance cars, especially RWD ones with wider tires, a small difference in PSI will cause the vehicle to pull in one direction.

Even a new rear tire will do this.
If its not that, then check rear toe, RWS calibration and if that's not it the sub frame, although that was more a 997RS thing perhaps..

Is it following imperfections in the road? I have a road near my house where the car will pull right because of the road surface, nothing to do with the car.

That could be normal. GT alignment makes them more sensitive to road surfaces and camber. The right lane is cambered to the right for drainage, so I do notice a slight drift to the right, and the left lane is cambered left for the same reason, and there is a slight drift to the left when I cruise there.

+1 Most likely the camber to the right of the street.
I'd also have the dealer check the alignment on the rack just in case : not all cars come aligned perfectly from the factory.

PLEASE before you do anything else, check the lug nuts on all tires. Then proceed with the other recommendations.

What lug nuts?

Thanks! I'm suspecting the same thing.

The alignment is free if done within the first 90 days, at least according to my dealer, who did mine.

I had this on my GT4 earlier this year. Dealer tried all the things mentioned even replaced one tire that they thought was the issue. Drove 600km on the new tire. Still pulled with hard acceleration at any speed. Tried another set of 4 wheels with Cup 2s. Problem solved. They replaced all 4 of my Dunlop's with Cup 2s.

Our roads here are crowned a lot and these cars have an aggressive alignment by street standards. Drive the car on the left side of a side street and I'll bet you it will pull left. I've had the same issue on my X73 Cayman and my Spyder. Totally normal.

Yup! I already scheduled an appointment. I think a quick check doesn't hurt.

Yup! I've noticed that on multiple cars and I definitely think the crown is pretty aggressive in CA.
