Steering wheel is aligned, tires are aligned and while traveling down the road without stepping on the gas, the car is perfectly straight. But when i hit the gas, the car wants turn right. I was told by a mechanic that since it's an older vehicle, it doesn't have sensors to compensate for this thing he called torque steer. Does this sound right to anyone? This might be obvious for some people, but as my username states, this is my first car.

Go in to have your alignment checked and tell them to tighten the control arms. If they dont know what your talking about, take it to another shop.
