Maby you have the rare and illusive Nascar 911. If so it will only turn left.
It sounds like you have something rubbing on one of the front tires. Look and see if you can find the telltale marks.

If one of your tires is rubbing, you should be able to hear it.
Try to reproduce the problem, and pinpoint the source. It could be you have a brake caliper sticking? Need more details.

Tire rub or your flex hose (brake) is failing internaly. Best guess though is tire rub

Have you removed the wheel and checked for rubbing?
Have you jacked up the front to see how the wheel spins? Checked for a sticking caliper? Caliper rebuild kits can be purchased from our host, and I would recommend doing both fronts. Rebuild kits are inexpensive. I would also replace the flex caliper hoses per asphaltgambler. While you're there, might as well do rebuilds on all four corners, fresh hoses, fresh fluid.

Have you checked the wheel bearings? If you jack the car up, do each caliper work ok independanylt?
Are you sure it's braking? Could the alignment be so far off there is tire scrubbing wen turning? (rear toe?)
