I bought all new tires.. had them alligned and everything, all equal and everything and had everything alligned Had a mechanic and everything check it out and he did some tests. Still pulls.. and he cant figure it out. What could it be..?

Re: Stealth is Pulling..
Hmm....I was about to say to check your alignment but if that's already been fixed then I dunno. It can't the road because if it was then it would be pulling right but yours is going left so..... ;o/

Re: Stealth is Pulling..
There's an idea, make sure that all your brakes including the emergency brake isn't rubbing. If just one brake pad is rubbing, then that would cause one tire to move a bit slower than the others and the car would drift sideways...take the wheels off and make sure the pads aren't rubbing the rotors.

when you apply the brakes, do you feel any shaking? shaking/vibration in the steering wheel? When my rotors were warped, the steering wheel shook like mad, and it would follow that if this occurred to a greater extent, your car could possibly pull in one direction...but for this argument, only when your brakes are applied.
ya, as said by 91stealth, check for air in the brake lines: that is bleed your brakes. Another thought, when i worked at a full service/repair shop, a guy brought his car in, complaining that it would randomly pull violently to one side or the other. He said the car has a mind of its own, the steering wheel would want to jerk left or right. We checked it out, through and through, could find nothing. Alignment was good. The guy wouldn't take it back, he wanted to put in a new Rack & Pinion steering gear system...although we had checked and it was fine. Of course, problems can occur when you drive it, and not show up when a mechanic checks it out. But you might test the Steering Gear system...not sure/can't remember how to do it, but you might try that approach.
